about me
Hello! My name is Maria, and I am the face and heart behind the Smaczne Gotowanie blog—a place created for all lovers of food, flavors, and the joy of cooking. I am a professional chef and have always been passionate about the culinary world. My mission is to inspire you to create delicious homemade meals that will delight both you and your loved ones. Whether you are an experienced cook or just starting your journey in the kitchen, you will find recipes, tips, and stories here that you will love.
My Journey with Food
My love for cooking began in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I spent hours watching her prepare traditional Polish dishes—pierogi, bigos, żurek, and cheesecake. The aromas, flavors, and the love she put into every dish left unforgettable memories in my heart. It was there that I realized food has the power to bring people together, tell stories, and create unforgettable moments.
After years of cooking for family and friends, I decided to turn my passion into a profession. I graduated from a culinary school and gained experience working in kitchens in Poland and abroad. From traditional techniques to experimenting with global flavors—my culinary journey has been full of discoveries and creativity. Now I want to share that experience with you through Smaczne Gotowanie.
