Culinary workshops referred to the heritage of Wallachian settlers of one of the "Fathers of Europe", depositors and emissaries of mountain culture, whose travels were very important for landscaping and culture of the Carpathian Mountains.

At the beginning of the workshop, the assumptions and idea of the Wallachian Culture Trail project were presented. In addition, participants learned about the history of regional cuisine, characteristic of the Polish-Slovak border region characteristic of the region.

Another point of the workshop were similar activities using a sheep's shoulder and additionally preparing groats: pearl barley and buckwheat in accordance with old recipes.
