Highly recommend. Ondrej is not only a great chef but is kind and considerate. He caters to each person in the group to make sure that everyone has a unique and memorable event. The food not only tastes delicious but he provides plenty of great wine and beer to drink as you cook. I wish him success and would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn good techniques as well as a new style of cooking.

Fantastic cooking class!

Angie_A, Mar 2024

The chef met us at the market and explained what we were purchasing for our meal. We all participated in the preparation and produced a fabulous meal! He provided all the recipes so we could replicate them at home. Awesome experience!

Couldn’t Stop Smiling…Wonderful Experience

MaryAnn_S, Oct 2023

Loved the class. Most of all Chef Ondrej was incredibly talented and inspiring. Ondrej’s patience, sense of humor and kindness was appreciated. Being from the US, I do not find these qualities in accomplished men often…breath of fresh air.

Happy in California

Cooking is fun and educational

Michelle_R, Sep 2023

We were fortunate to have a private lesson as the others had cancelled. We met Ondrej at the market to pick out some of our supplies, have a glass of wine before heading to his kitchen to cook our 3 course meal-all of which was excellent.

Don’t think, just do it.

Stacy_S, Sep 2023

This is a must do for anyone who loves food and loves to cook! Ondrej made the experience one of a kind and really wanted you to experience food from the market to the table. The food is delicious and I walked away with a few new skills as well.

Best lifetime experience

Michael_B, Aug 2023

Chef Ondrej was amazing, he made cooking fun, and made a very delish meal. From meeting at the market Ana picking out the ingredients to prep work and cooking. Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had while on vacation. If you really want a great experience book Chef Ondrej and you won’t be disappointed.

Czech Cuisine and Culture with Chef Ondrej

Leslie_L, Aug 2023

Chef Ondrej shared his day with us, showing us the culture of Prague in the market and his exceptional recipes. We met at the market and went first for wine that we drank while getting acquainted. Next, we were in the market as he was choosing our ingredients and introducing us to his friends there. We ubered together to his home where everything was set for our cooking experience. He taught us so much throughout our time there. It was hands on and fun to visit while we cooked together. The soup was our favorite, and so very flavorful. We will most certainly be using Chef Ondrej's recipes to cook for a family at home. It was an honor to get to cook with such a wise and talented chef.

Students' learning experience is the highest priority for Chef Ondrej!

Ong_Z, Jun 2023

Chef Ondrej is an approachable, personable chef that makes the student experience as enjoyable and smooth as possible. He takes pride in his work, can be a little harsh in his instruction but that's only for our safety's sake. Chef Ondrej is highly flexible and accommodating, and it was a pleasure to learn Czech cuisine from him.

Ondrej The Great

Fun and informative

Albert_T, Aug 2022

Ondrej was a great host and chef. He walked is through everything and helped my wife and I create an amazing meal.

An authentic day in the kitchen.

Tim_O, Jan 2022

What you get with Ondrej is an authentic experience. You aren't taken to some sterile commercial catering premises.You are invited into his home and are treated as friends. It's an intimate and fun day with a passionate chef who clearly loves teaching other people about cooking. You learn hints and tips along the way as well as learning more about the Prague food scene. And you get to sit down to eat a great meal at the end. A thoroughly enjoyable few hours.

Excellent All-Around, Prague Experience!!

Ann_C, Dec 2021

Cooking with Chef Ondrej was a highlight of our trip! This wasn't just a class, it was an entire, Prague experience! We started out at a market to buy special ingredients from the makers themselves, tasted some fine Moravian wine, and hopped on a tram to finish with an outstanding cooking session & dinner, with an exceptional chef. Ondrej welcomed us into his well-equipped kitchen, where we laughed a lot & learned, not just recipes, but how to cook!! He taught us knife skills and secrets of timing and ingredients we never would have had access to otherwise. As a result, our dinner, including dessert, was superb! Thank you Chef Ondrej, your sense of humor and the cooking skills you shared made for a delightful & satisfying travel experience!

Wonderful experience and great food

An excellent chef and a charming guy. A delightful way to spend an afternoon in Prague with hands on cooking and the reward of eating a delicious meal
