Executive Chef Marek Fichtner will have a workshop at the Kempinski booth everyday from 17:30 onwards, to personally teach onlookers about some of the secrets to preparing his tantalising barbecue dishes, including grilled tiger prawns, and a grilled pork fillet in bacon Lardo di Colonnata with smoked potato puree and sauce of honey and Pommery mustard.
Dessert lovers can look forward to the culinary art of the award-winning Pastry Chef, Karolína Kocincová, who will prepare a selection of three “sweet temptation” confections for tasting. Karolína will also be leading a how-to workshop on the basics of confectionary, entitled “Crash Course of Confectionary Art”.
Part of the stand will also feature a presentation of Dobrá Vinice wines from Nový Šaldorf, which supplies the exclusive Kempinski house wines, Kempinski Rouge, Kempinski Cuvéé Kambrium, and Kempinski Rosé.
Talking about the hotel’s participation at the Prague Food Festival, Peter Knoll, the General Manager of the Kempinski Hotel Hybernska, said: “We are very excited about this year’s Prague Food Festival, and are looking forward to being able to present the culinary art of our wonderful team, not only to our hotel guests and visitors, but to everybody who loves good food. Our chefs will be offering some very special dishes that can usually only be tasted in our hotel, and together with our lounge area, that will be open to everybody at the Prague Food Festival, we hope to create the ideal place for visitors to relax and try some truly great food.”
