Yazan Manjah
He comes from Middle East, but he has settled well in the Czech Republic over 20 years. He dedicated all his life to gastronomy and cooking, an important impulse for him was the participation in the Czech version of Masterchef which pushed him towards professional gastronomy.
Among other places, Yazan worked in Prague restaurant Home Kitchen, cooked as a chef in successful bistro Jam and Co which focuses on Asian fusion, and for the last two years he has engaged in lecturing activities. That’s Asian cuisine that is close to Yazan’s heart, he cooked his first curry simply by estimating the recipe. Similarly, the Lebanese cuisine is his unforgettable "home memory” that he will never tire of:-). The creativity going hand in hand with passion and love for cooking are his investment in our courses in Ola Kala.
Yazan gives courses in Czech or English.
In Ola Kala, he is in charge of the following courses: Thailand I. and II., Vietnam, India I. and II., Lebanese cuisine, Asian street food, Asian Fusion, South American Meats and others.

COURSE CHARACTERISTICS
Walk with Ola Kala through the streets of Asian cities and stop for a moment in each of them. Specifically on a market, at food stalls. Observe, sense, absorb the aroma and atmosphere. If you feel like that, buy a bit of the local “street food”. Regardless of the fact that you do not know the taste and are not entirely sure about the street hygiene here which is a little different than in Europe. Take that bit in the greasy paper in your hand and take a bite…Does it taste good? We will try to bring this story to you here in the centre of Prague.
