This hands-on perogy making session celebrates prairie food culture while teaching real, repeatable kitchen skills you can use at home.
Perogies may not have originated in Canada, but they are deeply woven into prairie life. Large waves of Ukrainian and Polish immigrants brought these recipes to central Alberta in the late 1800s, where the climate felt familiar and the food made sense. Over time, perogies became comfort food, celebration food, and freezer food for many families across the Prairies.
This workshop focuses on how to make perogies from scratch, using traditional methods that are practical, approachable, and proven. You will mix dough, prepare fillings, shape dumplings, and cook them together. We finish by eating what we make, because that part matters.
