Slovak Christmas Meal – “Kapustnica” soup and Fried Fish with Potato Salad

New Class!

The last two years have included the preparation of traditional Czech Christmas meals. This year, the focus is going to be on a traditional Slovak Christmas meal. Kapustnica soup is a delicious Slovak sauerkraut soup. For the main meal, you will learn how to make fried white fish with potato salad. The fish will be prepared deep fried, in an air fryer, and also shallow fried in a pan to make sure that each of you will find the right version!

Note: Suitable for vegetarians – simply replace the fish with fried cheese (the recipe will be included).

Join us from the comfort of  your home on Zoom and learn from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka in these hands-on interactive classes.

Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.
