Prakul, or the Prague Culinary Institute, is one of the prestigious cooking schools founded in the heart of Prague. It offers various courses designed to inspire both the professional chef and the enthusiast of cooking. It was founded in 2008 by one of the better-known gastronomic experts, Roman Vaněk. Under his guidance, this cooking school has been strategically created to bring all fine cuisine amenities under one roof. From leading chefs to bakers, sommeliers, bartenders, and other professions involved in food creation, Prakul is forming an alliance of experts set on changing the face, presentation, and consumption of food.
Drawing from First Republic heritage, Prakul underlines creativity and evolution as the quintessential hallmarks of this type of cuisine, thereby raising cooking to a qualitatively higher level of real art. These range from professional hospitality workers looking to learn more than what was taught at traditional schools to amateur cooks who might be influenced by different cuisines around the world and TV food channels. Prakul thus provides courses to suit every kind of clientele-from absolute beginners looking to learn the very fundamentals to experienced chefs wanting to expand their knowledge of new trends from other parts of the world.
The instructors at Prakul are recognized leaders in their fields, combining years of experience with a strong commitment to the forefront of rapidly changing gastronomy. Many lecturers have completed internships with the world's culinary elite and return with very modern knowledge to share with students. Besides that, many foreign experts come as guests to conduct specialized seminars and workshops in order to explain new and developing trends in international cuisine.
Roman Vaněk is the founder of the Prague Culinary Institute, and he has spent his whole professional life in the chase for culinary perfection. An accomplished gastronomist and an expert in quality raw materials, he takes full responsibility for keeping Prakul standards at their pinnacle, ranging from teaching to facilities. He has worked his way up the ladder to the point where, under his guidance, Prakul became well-established as one of the most prestigious cooking schools in the Czech Republic. This attracts food lovers and professionals alike into the world of gastronomy in all its best forms.
