Cocina Rivero is the Spanish-Argentine cooking school in Nove Mesto. Hands-on tapas, paella and asado classes built around live demonstrations and a glass of Spanish wine.
Tip: The paella class runs Saturdays; the cap of eight makes it intimate.
Address: Soukenicka 1189/23, 110 00 Praha 1, Prague
Chefparade's Traditional Czech cooking class runs from their kitchen in Hall 36 of the Holesovice market. Three Czech dishes hands-on, market tour beforehand, professional chef leading.
Tip: Walk through the market hall before class; the tour version costs the same.
Chefparade's market tour class walks the Holesovice market hall first, then returns to the school kitchen to cook three Czech dishes from what was bought. Five-hour format.
Tip: Book in advance; group caps at eight, the small group is the point.
Chefparade's Zizkov studio is the second city kitchen, with smaller classes and a rotating programme: Czech classics, Vietnamese pho, Italian pasta, Indian curry, baking workshops.
Tip: Vegetarian-friendly classes run monthly; check the calendar.
Laboratorio in Modrany runs cooking workshops on a calendar of rotating cuisines: pasta-making, Czech weeknight dinners, Asian dim sum, baking. Smaller, calmer, less touristic than Chefparade.
Tip: Bring a friend; the kitchen is set up for paired stations.
