One of the best experiences - highly recommend - Had a great evening with Brett in his historical basement space as he hosted a group of five. We try to do these types of experiences wherever we travel and this, by far, was the best. Well organized and Brett got everyone involved with the food preparation. Educational as well as entertaining, all the while enjoying some excellent Moravian wine. Brett is a fun instructor and really enjoys the experience. It was an evening of fun conversation and great food. Highest recommendation.

Wonderful experience - Really fun experience— learned a lot and in a relaxed atmosphere. Not your typical cooking class since you get plenty of food and wine and don’t have to do too much work! This was a great time and I highly recommend it!

Best foodie experience ever!! - I am a true foodie and whenever I travel to a foreign city I participate in a food related activity. This had to be one of the best if not the best food experience I ever had! It was a well rounded program. I learned about the food, the history, the ingredients, and how I can fit into the story! I would recommend Bret and this experience to all that visit Prague!

Fantastic Experience - I attended this class recently in the evening with Brett as the host. I am traveling solo and in this class was myself and just one other couple. With a small group it was ensured that we all got to fully participate and we also had a nice chat. It was a 3 hour experience and an absolutely lovely way to spend an evening, snacking and drinking throughout and ending with a great dinner and dessert. I really got to feel like I did something fun and immersed in the culture. Brett was fantastic, guiding us through various dishes cooking or if prepared already telling us all about how it’s made and where it comes from. It was fun to learn some Czech history through food and drink. Completely worth it for me, one of the highlights of this trip. If you’re hesitant, don’t be! Book it! :)
