Prague: Market Tour and Traditional Czech Cooking Class｜Czechia

Join a special 3-hour cooking class in Prague for an introduction to the typical Czech cuisine, with you as the chef. The hands-on course will give you the opportunity to cook side-by-side with a local chef in a contemporary, cosmopolitan cooking studio. Master the basics of Czech cooking, as well as some other cuisines, in a fun and interactive atmosphere. Add on a pre-class market tour to make this an experience to remember.

For those taking the morning tour, you will explore a farmer’s market with your guide from 09:00, when the market is still at its most active. Guided by your chef guide, look and learn about some of the unique and typical ingredients that go towards creating an authentic Czech meal, and buy the things you need for your class.

Back at the studio, all guests will prepare a 3-course meal that they will then eat. Menus can be altered based on your requirements and according to what is in season, but typically you will learn how to make a traditional potato soup with mushrooms, known as "bramboračka," goulash with dumplings from Carlsbad, or "bramboráky" (potato pancakes).

Prepare some fruit dumplings with cottage cheese called "ovocné knedlíky," or a creamy spinach soup with herb croutons. Rabbit or baby chicken with Easter stuffing and new potatoes with chives is a main course favorite, while the sweet cake "beránek" is an authentic Czech dessert. Courses usually run in the late morning to finish with a lunch, but the class can be adjusted by prior agreement, with afternoon lessons if you prefer.
