Mandarin Oriental, Prague Offers Taste of Prague Culinary Experience
August 8, 2012
The Taste of Prague package is priced from $894 + VAT and includes the following: One night’s luxurious accommodation for two including breakfast, a light lunch and a dinner with paired wines, plus a trip to a farmers’ market followed by a private cooking class by Jiří Štift, Mandarin Oriental, Prague‘s executive chef and an authority on modern, seasonal Czech cooking. Guests will also enjoy seasonal refreshments in-room and special culinary gifts.
While Prague’s architectural splendor is justly famous, Czech cuisine remains largely – and undeservedly – unknown outside of Central Europe. In recent years, however, there has been a new interest in reviving the Czech culinary tradition by chefs and restaurateurs alike, while a corresponding movement emphasizing fresh, local produce sourced from newly-emerged farmers’ markets has taken hold. Among the leading champions of this progressive trend is Jiří Štift, Executive Chef at Mandarin Oriental, Prague. A Taste of Prague offers guests an entirely authentic, hands-on experience selecting and then cooking a delicious Czech meal using local, seasonal ingredients.
The day of culinary exploration will commence in the morning, when guests will be collected by chef Štift and taken to one of the best farmers’ markets in Prague. Here, they will enjoy an impromptu lesson on classic local ingredients while filling their baskets with the finest seasonal meats, fish and produce. After an informal, light meal, the day will continue with a private cooking class in the kitchens of Essensia, Mandarin Oriental, Prague’s acclaimed restaurant. Guests will be shown how to prepare their chosen ingredients, composing an entire three-course menu around the food items just purchased. While preparing their meal under chef Štift’s expert guidance, they will enjoy tasting a variety of local wines presented by the restaurant’s sommelier while simultaneously learning what makes Czech cuisine distinctive, and what the local culinary tradition shares with its neighbors. The dinner will be served in a private dining room along with matching local wines.
The Taste of Prague package includes:
• One night's accommodation for two people including breakfast
• Bottle of outstanding local wine and refreshments in room upon arrival
• Full-day culinary program that includes shopping with chef Jiří Štift at a local farmers’ market, an informal lunch, a private cooking class, and dinner with matching wines
• Souvenir gift – a stylish cooking class apron, local food gift, and CD with digital photos from the cooking class
The package rates start at $894 plus 14 percent VAT, with additional nights available at the B&B rate. To book this package, please contact Mandarin Oriental, Prague at +420 233 088 888 or e-mail moprg-reservations@mohg.com. The package is valid until Oct. 31 2012.
