    My family and I (parents, brother, husband) wanted to take a cooking class when we visited Prague. We did some research and really liked the reviews and menu of this specific class. I truthfully could not be happier with the results and my family agrees it was the highlight of our trip. The cooking class was held in a cute underground cave (what it felt like at least) and our cooking instructor was Bret. Although he claims he’s not the best at speaking English, I think he communicated wonderfully and did a great job understanding our questions and commentary. His accent was darling and authentic, and he was a joy to get to know on a personal level. He has lots of great stories which kept us occupied during the few slower portions of the class. We had a group of 5 and he kept us all busy, in a great way, throughout the class. He gave equal opportunity for hands on tasks, and during our waiting “breaks” (when food was cooking) he made a delicious snack platter to enjoy. The recipes were all relatively simple and easy which makes me think I can replicate them at home. Everything was very delicious! And we learned some fun techniques and more about the Czech cuisine. Our only regret was not taking a photo with him! My family highly recommends this class, we’re sure anyone would enjoy it!

    The wonderful Czech dishes - especially the rabbit and cream rolls. Meeting Brett was a treat. He taught us great skills
    Fabulous experience learning traditional Czech dishes!
    Nancy_W, Feb 2024
    We booked last minute and it was a wonderful surprise to end up with a private class. Bret was a wonderful instructor. We loved the personal attention, stories, and delicious offerings. The recipes were easy to follow and we can't wait to try and make them once we are back home.
    Don’t Miss This Class

    I could start with the easy but delicious recipes, but the best part was Bret and his stories! The time flew by and we ate and laughed and had some wine. I would take this class again and again!

    Great Fun

    Wonderful! We were looking for something different to do in Prague and this seemed to fit the bill. What fun. Bret, the host, was well organized and interacted with humor and care. Don't worry about your previous cooking experience, Bret will teach you how to flip a potato pancake in the skillet like a pro! Come hungry. So happy we did this!
    Awesome night!

    Very cool kitchen set up. Had a great evening cooking and learning with Brett. He kept everyone involved with various tasks throughout the class. The food and wine were delicious. This was a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend!
    Great, tasty family activity
    CARLEEN_W, Jul 2023
    Really fun afternoon with Brett preparing traditional Czech dishes. He shared some of the country’s history with us while teaching us about their culture and cuisine. He tolerated our less than perfect cooking skills and the results was a lovely, tasty family meal. Highly recommend!
    A wonderful Czech dinner at a new friend!s house
    jontymaltz, May 2023
    Bret is a marvelous host & guided us through our tasks to produce a wonderful Czech dinner. It was as though we were having dinner at a good friend’s house.
    Fun food night
    Nancy_B, May 2023
    A most fun and yummy night. Our host/ educator was quite a funny dude-there were 8 in our group and class was held in an underground room built 400 years ago. Totally modern and very comfortable and professional. He applied us with alcohol and pour the wines freely. Halfway through all the cooking duties, he laid out a mini charcuterie experience, and everything was divine. I especially liked the lard slathered on the dark bread with paprika sausage on top. And. Our group overstayed the time frame by about 45 minutes, but it didn’t seem to bother him. Everything we made was very detailed and yummy. I would definitely do it again if there was a different menu, you can’t eat goulash every night.
    If you like to cook, this is a must do.

    I have to admit, I was not thrilled about walking 2.7km from my hotel to meet our host. It was a good day for a walk, so I did it. I am so very happy I did not pass on this event. My wife and I met with Bret. Along with several other couples, (new friends), we went to Bret and Aida's place a short distance from our meeting point. The property was really nice. The kitchen and dining area was immaculate. We spent the next several hours making our dinner and desert. We had wine and got to know each other. We have done cooking classes in other countries and had great times, but this class was my favorite by far. I will be your biggest fan and recommend anyone I hear is visiting Prague, to attend one of your events. Thank you Bret and Aida for doing this for others to learn and enjoy.
    Dinner and Wine with Bret, perfect!
    KarenH_S, Oct 2022
    Everyone was included in the preparation of our Czech dinner from soup to dessert. Bret kept us on track to be sure we were able to eat what we prepared from 2:30-7. We had many laughs as we chopped, julienned and sipped wine. It was an enjoyable delicious evening! Thank you Bret!
    Cooking, culture, and good company
    KellyHughes_I, Jul 2022
    The experience was delightful. Bret was knowledgeable and gracious, and the food— all made from scratch— was delicious. The photo is our first foray into traditional Czech crème pastry, under Bret’s guidance. A great evening of tradition and culture.
    Would definitely recommend
    colette_m, Jun 2022
    Awesome Must do! If you can use a knife, you can do this! If you can chew, you will love this! It is obvious that Bret loves, food, people and family. He is a great cook! The food was fresh and beautiful. Best Czech dishes that I've tasted. The venue is so chic. Nice decor, very comfortable and clean. Everything was surperb. 5 hrs. Cooking, snacking eating 3 course. Dessert and coffee. Met some nice people as well. Loved this experience...
    Amazing Experience
    Rocio_G, Feb 2022
    Since it was only two of us, we were able not only to cook great food but also know more about Check culture and ingredients.
    Perfect Way to Experience Czech Cuisine
    Hannah_J, Aug 2021
    Highly recommend! We enjoyed the food and conversation with the host and other guest. Great way to immerse yourself in Czech cuisine and gives confidence that you will be able to replicate your favourite Czech dish once you are home.
    Passion for food!
    April_C, Jun 2019
    Aida greeted us warmly and discovered quickly our food preferences generally. We shopped for some ingredients and walked back to her kitchen. Aida's passion for her Grandma's recipes was evident as she described her childhood food experiences with love and understanding. Aida is a great communicator as she gave us tips for preparation and cooking the delicious, fresh Czech dishes. Aida's knowledge about food, its origins and tips was extensive. This was a memorable and fun experience for us learning about the Czech culture, traditions and food. Many thanks Aida!
    Bester Nachmittag in Prag!
    Guido_M, Feb 2023
    Ein Kochkurs in Prag? Auf jeden Fall eine gute Idee. Mit meiner Frau zusammen waren wir alleine bei Brent und haben zusammen drei Gänge gekocht und zusammen gegessen. Das ist durchaus unterhaltsam (ein wenig tschechische Kultur gibts gratis dazu). Die Zubereitung klassischer tschechischer Hausmannskost gibts hier authentisch erlebbar. Dazu haben wir uns auch für die Praxis einige Dinge abschauen können, die sich sicher auch zu Hause anwenden lassen. Die Location in einem historischen Keller ist für den Kurs genau passend und vermittelt viel vom individuellen Stil von Brent. Das kleine Probierpaket zwischendurch mit lokalen Wurst und Käsesorten ist noch zu erwähnen - für uns ein absolut gelungener Nachmittag. Und das lag nicht (alleine) am Wein dazu. Wir waren schon mehrfach in Prag - das hier war bisher unser schönstes Erlebnis. !
