This cooking class was a blast!! Our class was taught by a former contestant of Czech Master Chef, and the food was amazing. We learned to make Potato and Mushroom soup, Roast Pork with Sauerkraut and Czech Dumplings, and Shredded Pancake dessert. After the class recipes were supplied to us by email.
Highly recommend this off the beaten path Prague Experience.
Had THE BEST TIME! Our chef was amazing. The market was great and we enjoyed seeing a variety of Czech foods and local produce. The entire experience was very interactive and we learned a lot. My family is from the Czech Republic and I was able to gain some new cooking tips and Czech recipes I can share with them.
The facility ChefParade was clean, neat, and had friendly staff.
You have an opportunity afterwards to shop in their store, which has most of the ingredients you cook with available for purchase. If you like food and wine, I would DEFINITELY recommend. We can't wait to come back and do it again!
Wonderful morning shopping through the farmers' market and making several dishes. There was time to talk and get to know our chef and other guests. I was able to take the Metro and had a short walk to cooking studio which is one building away from the farmers' market building. The studio sent detail instructions how to get to the location.
I loved this experience. The market was nice to see as there are a wide variety of produce that is often local. Petra was very kind and helpful in terms of teaching us how to cook Czech food. The course is roughly 3 hours and it was a blast. Let's talk about the food, it was excellent in my opinion as I'm a huge fan of meat and potatoes as well as a fan of strudel. My only criticism is I wish we wouldn't have used pre packaged pastry dough as I can't find that brand here in the USA. Overall, I'd recommend this course to anyone who loves food and cooking.
We really enjoyed this experience. While the Czech Republic is not exactly known for its fine quisine, we enjoyed the market experience and the history and explanation of regional Czeck recipes. Everyone was knowledgeable and informative and we would recommend lthis class as a way to learn more about how people around the world actually live.
What a great way to get to know Prague! We had a great cooking course in a beautiful venue - ChefParade. Our instructor was outstanding and answered all our questions. The food was delish and we enjoyed the market visit. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking and finding out about different cultures. Definitely worth the cost!
First of all, don't let the area around the cooking school turn you away. Once inside it is beautiful! Bright and clean with new equipment and everything at the ready. I had a solo class with my instructor Petra. She took me to the market next door which was wonderful. We sipped blackcurrant wine, purchased mushrooms and apples and wandered around looking at all the goodies. Worth a trip back here after class. Then we got busy making potato soup, paprika chicken with dumplings and apple strudel. I especially liked making the steamed dumplings. It was fun to prepare the meal and then to sit down and enjoy it at the end of our labors. I even got an extra strudel to bring to my husband for later. It didn't last ten minutes! I enjoyed the time with Petra talking about everything from cooking, to family, and to music. I highly recommend this class to individuals or small groups who want to do something less touristy and to get to know the local culture a bit better.
