Who I Am

My Story with Pierogi

I started cooking as a kid, standing on a stool next to the kitchen counter. My great-grandmother, both grandmothers and my granddad taught me how to make pierogi – each with a different dough, a different filling and a different story behind it.

Where It All Started

Family and Tradition

Our Family

I grew up in a modest home where pierogi were part of everyday life. Just like many traditional dishes around the world, they were born from simplicity – using what we had, stretching the budget and still putting something warm and comforting on the table.

Homemade Food

Dough mixed by hand, filling seasoned “by feeling”, and long conversations while the water was boiling – that was my normal. Today in Madrid I do the same, using Polish products whenever I can so that the taste of my childhood stays as authentic as possible.

Authentic with a Twist

I respect tradition, but I also enjoy playing with it – serving pierogi as starters, main course and dessert. It’s a way to connect the simplicity of my home in Zamość with the vibrant, curious food culture of Madrid.

Meet The Chef

Piotr Dworak Sokolowski

I come from Zamość, a Renaissance “ideal city” in south-eastern Poland, where streets and squares were carefully designed to stay in harmony. Maybe that’s why I believe so strongly that cooking is also about balance – good ingredients, the right order of steps and the people you share the food with.

After years of living abroad I realised that pierogi are my own language. Through them I can talk about Poland, my family and the idea that simple, humble dishes can become something truly special. Los Pierogi is my way of sharing that story in Madrid.

A Modern Take on Tradition

The Concept

Los Pierogi is a mix of home-style cooking and live showcooking. I bring Polish ingredients to your kitchen and together we turn an ordinary evening into a little journey to Zamość and the flavours of Poland.

I’m not a restaurant or a classic catering service. I create intimate experiences where we fold, cook, eat and talk – the way my family used to do it, now recreated in the heart of Madrid.
