Your Coach
Chef Majk
Michal Kováč · Michelin-Trained Chef
I spent over 12 years working in fine dining restaurants, including Michelin-starred kitchens, before moving into coaching full time four years ago.
I didn't learn cooking from books or online tutorials. I learned by doing, through thousands of hours in world-class kitchens, working 16 hour shifts alongside some of the best chefs in the world. No shortcuts. Just real experience.
But here's the thing: you don't need to go through all that to cook at a high level.
Today, I help cooking enthusiasts like you develop real skills and your own creative style, using a structured system based on everything I've learned.
It's the shortcut I wish I had years ago, and now you can learn it in a fraction of the time.

Common Questions
This program works for a wide range of cooks, from complete beginners to advanced home cooks and even professional chefs.
If you're a beginner, that's actually an advantage. You don't have ingrained habits yet, so you can learn the foundations properly from the start, with the right structure and feedback.
If you're more experienced, you likely have some basics, but most cooks were never taught fine dining thinking in a structured way. We refine what you already know and rebuild key principles so they actually work at a fine dining level.
The level matters less than the mindset. What matters is your willingness to learn how cooking really works, not just repeat what you already know.

YouTube tutorials teach you how to make a dish. Follow these steps, use this recipe, plate it like this.
My coaching teaches you how to think and create like a chef, building dishes from scratch, mastering fine dining techniques, and developing your own creative style.
You get a structured program with personalized feedback on every dish you make, detailed plating analysis, and accountability to actually transform your cooking, not just watch and forget.

My coaching teaches universal fine dining techniques and skills, not cuisine-specific recipes. You'll master skills like:
- Creating silky smooth purées
- Building restaurant-quality sauces
- Mastering textures (crispy, creamy, crunchy)
- Plating like a Michelin chef
- Perfect timing and temperature control
- Balancing flavors instinctively
These techniques work across any style of cooking. My background is European and French fine dining, so if you're looking to learn sushi, BBQ, or baking, this program is not the best fit.

Taste is highly personal. My goal isn't to have you replicate my dishes, but to teach you the techniques and principles so you can develop your own style.
Taste is the only limiting factor in online coaching, but everything else I can assess through photos and videos: your plating, textures, knife skills, sauce consistency, and overall execution.

You only need basic kitchen tools: an oven, blender, pan, pot, strainer, peeler, and a good knife.
If you have additional equipment like a blowtorch, sous vide, ice cream maker, or molds, we can incorporate them into your lessons.
But they're not required. Fine dining is about technique and thinking, not expensive gear.

The investment ranges from high-three to low-four figures in euros, based on the program you select.
I offer different levels of support and coaching intensity. When we talk, we'll find the right fit for your goals.

Most students complete the program in 2-4 months, but the timeline is flexible based on your schedule. Some finish faster, others take their time. Both approaches work.
You should be prepared to dedicate at least 2-3 hours per week to cooking, plus 1 hour for watching the video lessons and our coaching calls. The more time you invest, the better your results will be.
