Merry Cooking with JLL

Łukasz Dobrzański

Head of Office Agency in Łódź

Łukasz is an expert on the Łódź office sector, with experience in the aviation industry. When he’s not busy with commercialization and consulting, he relaxes by playing "Civilization" or football as well as reading books on the formation of societies. He knows what a ‘krańcówka’, ‘migawka’ and ‘chynchy’ are. His signature dishes are... scrambled eggs and tea, which means that during Christmas he helps rather than heads up the kitchen department. When it comes to Christmas dishes, he adores mushroom & cabbage dumplings, and he will never say ‘no’ to cheesecake.

He has been inseparably connected with this sector for over 20 years - first as the co-founder and president of REAS, and now as the Vice-President of the Management Board at JLL. During his free time, he likes to cook for his family, which is a challenge as he can have all of his 21 children and grandchildren gathered around his table. His signature Christmas Eve dish is trout in caper and lemon sauce, which he learned how to do from the great Kurt Scheller himself.
