Cooking classes for beginners

Are you lacking in cooking basics? This course is just for you. No professional cooking with unconventional ingredients like on other courses, but honest home cooking simple and tasty. And lots of tips and tricks to make your work easier and how not to spend half a day cooking.

You’re not sure,

• how to cut vegetables easily and safely?
• what does a browned onion look like?
• how to sear a slice of meat in a pan so that it is cooked through but not dry or tough like the sole?
• how much salt to put in soup, rice or water for cooked vegetables?
• how thick should the batter be for a pancake and how do you know if it is already baked?
• do you give up cooking when you see “thicken with a little flour”, “add salt to taste” or “add milk as needed” in a recipe?

I will teach you all this on the course!

Totally satisfied, I enjoyed it, soaked up a lot of useful information. Thanks to the course, Lucia I no longer have to be afraid of cooking:) Thank you!

Useful course for beginner cooks, very nicely organized. I liked the course very much, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to cook.

Throughout the course we were given very practical advice on almost every step of the cooking process. These were details that turned out to be very useful, without me even thinking to ask about a particular step before. The course was very well designed, we managed to do a lot of things - bake a dessert, cut up and completely process a whole chicken (broth, medallions, several types of steaks). We were also given many tips on how to use different parts of the chicken. Under patient and careful guidance, everyone succeeded and gave the necessary confidence in future home-made continuation.

Individual courses are held by appointment at a time that suits you.

• Chicken broth (and show how to season it properly)
• Chicken cutlets three ways (where we will learn how to carve and properly sear the meat)
• Medallions baked in tomato sauce (which will show us how important it is to balance flavours)
• Gratinated vegetables (which will teach you how to cut them properly)
• Marble cake (so you know how to bake a quick and tasty dessert for a visitor)

We will be showing the process of all the dishes in detail and especially tasting them! We will taste at all stages (i.e. when the ingredients are no longer raw:-)), so you can learn how to season everything properly. And of course I will be happy to involve you in all the activities, there will be plenty of work:-)

I would recommend the course to complete beginners, because Lucka discusses the very basics and explains everything in specific steps and details.

Absolutely perfect. The fear of cooking immediately falls off when you know what you can leave on the stove unattended, how to do a whole chicken, how to quickly and safely cut it and how to season it properly?

Tereza Tobiášová

For a complete beginner, I think it is a very well prepared course. You will learn a lot of basic things, but also tricks that only an experienced and enthusiastic cook can advise you, which Lucie is 100%. You are given maximum attention, there is enough time for everything. When you are not chopping, peeling, stirring in a bowl or pan, you are listening with interest to additional info about suitable ingredients, kitchen equipment, or tasting and seasoning. What you cook, you also eat.

Silvie Demartini

A nicely put together course for real beginners. Clearly explained steps with advice as if footnoted. Lucy doesn’t just stick to demonstrations and procedures on how to do things, but supplements them with explanations of why to do it that way, and what can happen if something is not done. And that’s what I liked the most.

Jana Martínková

Totally met expectations, well structured, great use of all the ingredients and time. I took away a lot of food for the next days.

Petra Pfaurová

The course is exactly what I was looking for. In a relaxed and non-violent way, the basics of cooking are explained even to a complete beginner, including how to cut different types of ingredients. In 3 hours of the course we managed to cover the basics and still cook enough courses. The course really helped me!
