Premium Hungarian Cooking Class with Chef Marti
Description
Do you like cooking and would you like to discover Hungary through gastronomy? I am a professional chef and would be happy if I share everything with you about Hungarian cuisine. I love cooking and eating great food. It is fantastic when my kitchen is full of life: somebody is chopping onions, someone else is preparing the meat or is kneading dough and we are talking, laughing and the smell of the food fills the whole place. While you are in Budapest, come, cook together and enjoy this unique atmosphere in the centre. This 100‹% hands-on cooking class gives you a memorable experience. If you do not have enough time to make a full 3-course menu with me, please look for my culinary program, called: "Hungarian Cooking Class with Iconic Dishes" and here, let’s make one of the most famous Hungarian dish and learn about local ingredients, Hungarian cuisine, custom, and everyday life.

My 18 year old son and I took Marti’s cooking class together while visiting Budapest, and we both had an amazing time! We learned a lot about traditional Hungarian cuisine and the origins of many famous dishes like goulash soup, chicken paprikash, and apple strudel, along with how to buy, store and use the different types of Hungarian paprika. We all participated in the preparation of our meal so we could get a feel for the recipes first hand. Marti then shares all the recipes with everyone via email so we can try them at home. She puts a lot of time and effort into the preparation so that everything goes smoothly during the class and meal. I was so impressed with the entire experience- couldn’t be more pleased or impressed with how it went!!

My goal is always to create a relaxed, hands-on experience where guests can learn authentic recipes and confidently recreate them at home, so it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the class.

This cooking class was an absolute highlight of our time in Budapest. Not only was the food authentic and delicious, but the experience went far beyond the kitchen. Our instructor Marti was exceptional—she didn’t just teach recipes, she shared the stories behind them, along with insights into Hungary’s history, from the communist era to today’s evolving political landscape. It felt like cooking, culture, and conversation all blended into one unforgettable evening. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and a much deeper appreciation for Hungarian life. We would take this class again in a heartbeat.
