As the days grow shorter and the weather turns cooler, the aroma of simmering soups, sweet pastries and slow-cooked family recipes fills Slovak homes, just as it has for generations.
Simple ingredients are transformed into comforting dishes that warm both body and soul. They bring back memories of home, family and cozy autumn afternoons. You can almost picture your grandmother standing in the kitchen with a smile, preparing recipes that have been lovingly passed down through the generations.
We invite you into Gabriela's kitchen, where treasured family recipes and the stories behind them come to life. Over six weeks, she will guide you step by step as you prepare some of our most beloved seasonal comfort foods.

Each week we will cook together live, with plenty of time for questions, conversation and practical tips.
You will learn how to make 8 recipes. No previous cooking experience is required.
