Dobrojídlo - "good dish"
Giving back is important to us - we try to help wherever there is need. And kindness comes in many forms.
Jirka Panuška and Marek Fichtner have jointly invented the concept of "Good dish" - Dobrojídlo in Czech, which means creating a special dish for a good cause. We also tried to connect this concept to grilling, beer tapping and making sweet desserts.
All the concepts have a common goal - to support and help.
We always invite friends to Červený Jelen who choose a good cause they want to support. We contribute our culinary skills, our guests provide inspiration and together we create a "Good dish", a dessert or other goodies that are available for a limited time at our restaurant.
Finished projects:
eva & marek adamczykovi for timík
Dobrovaření returned this year – once again with two guests. Following last year’s success, we continued the concept of inviting two guests to create two Dobrojídla together. This time, we were joined by Eva Adamczyková and Marek Adamczyk.
Eva prepared butter-roasted pike-perch with shrimp marinated in a Champagne dressing, chimichurri and new potatoes. Marek opted for sautéed tips of aged beef rump with chilli con carne sauce, basmati rice, a Cheddar croquette and tomato salsa with corn and coriander.
From June 8 to 21, both Dobrojídla were served at Červený Jelen. CZK 50 from every dish sold was donated to support Timík, who lives with cerebral palsy. Eva and Marek chose to help fund his new wheelchair, which will give him greater independence.
And the result? Together, we raised an amazing CZK 46,450.
A huge thank you to Eva and Marek for their time, energy and willingness to be part of Dobrovaření. And, above all, thank you to everyone who joined us, tasted our Dobrojídla and helped support a good cause.
Tereza kostková for
sosdětské vesničky
Our pre-Christmas Dobrovaření with Tereza Kostková was truly special. From the atmosphere and energy to, most importantly, the result. Together, we hosted our most successful Dobrovaření to date and raised a record CZK 43 850 for SOS Children’s Villages.
Dobrojídlo: Sous-vide stuffed pork tenderloin with aged Gouda, potato and pumpkin croquette, mulled wine sauce, Pinot Noir-roasted grapes, St. John’s walnuts and broccolini.
We are incredibly happy with the result and would like to thank Tereza from the bottom of our hearts for her time, energy and generosity. And, above all, a huge thank you to everyone who joined us, supported a good cause and showed that when people come together with a shared purpose, they can make a real difference.
markéta konvičková & rené kuboš
for daruj vlasy
In March, we hosted a culinary showdown that delivered not only great taste, but also a great purpose. Partners Markéta Konvičková and René Kuboš went head-to-head in the kitchen, each preparing an original dish. The challenge was simple: our guests decided which Dobrojídlo would sell more – and every plate sold also supported the Daruj vlasy charity project.
Markéta’s Dobrojídlo:
Grilled salmon fillet with orecchiette pasta in a creamy tomato sauce, Parmesan, rocket and Datterino tomatoes.
René’s Dobrojídlo:
Pulled beef burger with plum BBQ sauce, apple coleslaw, grilled sweet potatoes and herb salsa.
The competition was close right until the very end, but in the end, everyone came out a winner. Thanks to you, we raised CZK 37,050 to support the Daruj vlasy project.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, tasted both dishes and helped support a good cause.
