Kristýna Macková

I am a chef focused on local, seasonal ingredients and predominantly plant-based cuisine. My career in gastronomy began in a front-of-house role, but I quickly discovered that my true passion lies in cooking. I enjoy working with simple, accessible ingredients, transforming them into interesting and delicious dishes full of creativity and original combinations.

Experience

I have gained experience mainly in vegan restaurants, where I had the opportunity to explore both traditional and modern cuisine, always managing to find the right balance between flavor, aesthetics, and nutritional value. I currently lead the kitchen at Bjukitchen in Prague, where I focus on creating creative dishes that combine innovative approaches with sustainability.
