The Best Food's Akademia Gotowania on Dąbrowskiego runs Poznań's biggest open-plan culinary studio, the 240-square-metre kitchen hosting Italian, Spanish.
Tip: The four-workshop bundle saves about 30 percent over single bookings; the Asian and sushi nights are the most popular and the first to sell out.
AMICA Cooking School on Bułgarska next to the Enea stadium is the household brand's own culinary studio, running fundamentals for beginners alongside Italian.
Tip: Sign-ups close fast because the brand pulls a wide audience; phone ahead in English to confirm the language of the session and the dish list.
Restauracja Rusałka on Golęcińska in the leafy Sołacz district runs three-hour evening cooking workshops, the menu rotating between sushi, Italian, Thai.
Tip: The 240 $ tier is the entry pizza or Mexican slot; book the 680 $ sushi night for the five-roll set, the room's most-booked session.
Rogalowe Muzeum Poznania on Stary Rynek 41/2 runs interactive shows of about an hour on baking the protected rogal świętomarciński with traditional tools.
Tip: Pre-book the English-language slot; the Polish-only sessions run more frequently but the demo banter is in Polish.
