Cooking class experience — learning Makowiec properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Makowiec correctly. The instructor explained why dried mushrooms is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The rich and comforting result when you make it yourself is different.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. We learned how a family Christmas Eve wigilia dinner shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of Żubrówka bison grass vodka. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
