Testimonials from Previous Participants

„The course was very interesting and beneficial. The instructor explained everything elegantly and clearly, including many tips and experiences. The course level was adapted even for us slightly advanced learners. The recipes are tasty and easy to prepare; I’ve added the cooked meals to my repertoire.“
— Josef K.

„It exceeded expectations; I didn’t anticipate what we could accomplish in 3.5 hours. I was concerned whether it would truly be for beginners, and it was.“
— Tomáš H.

„The time spent in the course was pleasant. I learned several new things. For the first time in my life, I portioned a chicken, and despite initial uncertainty, I managed it under guidance. I now chop vegetables only as I learned in the course. We managed to prepare several courses. Very satisfied.“
— Vlastimil K.

„The course is exactly what I was looking for. The basics of cooking are explained in a relaxed and non-coercive manner, even to a complete beginner, including methods of cutting various types of ingredients. In 3 hours of the course, we covered the basics and still managed to cook enough courses. The course really helped me!“
— Aleš N.

„Exactly to my taste, no overcomplicated demonstration of culinary art, which a man of my non-cooking skills and analytical approach wouldn’t understand.“
— Martin M.

„I greatly appreciate the clear structure of the course; every minute was effectively utilized. For me, the course was very beneficial and precisely met my needs and intentions.“
— Martin Š.

„For a complete beginner, in my opinion, an excellently prepared course. You learn a lot of basic things, but also tricks that only an experienced and cooking-enthusiastic cook, which Lucie is 100%, can advise you on. You receive maximum attention; there’s enough time for everything. When you’re not chopping, peeling, mixing in a bowl or pan, you’re listening intently to additional information about suitable ingredients, kitchen equipment, or you’re tasting and seasoning. What you cook, you also eat.“
— Silvie D.

„The best choice for beginners in cooking.“
— Barbora

„I recommend it to everyone who wants to start cooking or is still unsure about cooking. As a beginner, I learned a lot.“
— Vojtěch M.

„Nicely structured course for real beginners. Clearly explained steps with side notes. Lucka doesn’t just stick to demonstrations and procedures on how to do things but also explains why to do it that way and what can happen if something isn’t done. And that’s what I liked the most.“
— Jana M.

„Absolutely met expectations, well-structured, excellent use of all ingredients and time. I took away a lot of food for the following days.“
— Petra P.
