Cook Authentic Hungarian Dishes – Live from Budapest with Chef Ágnes

An intimate, live, 1-on-1 online cooking class that brings the taste of Hungary to your kitchen.

Relax at home, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let me bring the flavors of Hungary into your kitchen. With just a few clicks, you’ll connect with me — a Hungarian home cook in Budapest — and together we’ll prepare classic dishes like goulash, chicken paprikas, or strudel, live and step by step.

This is more than a cooking class. It’s a cultural experience, a chance to ask questions only a local can answer, and a delicious way to spend time with loved ones — no passport required.

Whether you’re a food lover, looking for a unique experience, or exploring your Hungarian heritage, this class offers something meaningful. Along the way, I’ll share family stories, cultural traditions, and cooking tips passed down through generations.

No flights, no group sessions — just a personal, hands-on experience from my kitchen to yours. Perfect for special occasions, date nights, or reconnecting with your roots.

Meet your instructor

Hi, I’m Ágnes, a Hungarian home cook and food guide based in Budapest. I’ve been sharing my love of Hungarian cuisine with travelers for over 15 years through market tours, hands-on cooking classes, and through this live online experience.

Since 2017, I’ve been proudly working with The Chef & The Dish, a US-based company that specializes in private, kitchen-to-kitchen virtual cooking experiences. Through their platform, I’m able to connect with guests and with you from all over the world and bring authentic Hungarian cooking directly into their homes.

Together, we’ll recreate some of Hungary’s most beloved dishes, and I’ll share the cultural stories behind them — straight from the source.

“We chose Chef Agnes Barath from Hungary! We had a wonderful experience. Agnes is warm individual and great teacher. Throughout our session she shared stories and history. It was truly much more than a cooking lesson!” Gladys Rowe

HOW IT WORKS

Hitting the BOOK NOW button, we’ll take you to The Chef & The Dish site and you can book your program there. Once they receive your booking, a Kitchen Assistant will contact you to host a personal Kitchen Prep Session. They review your Shopping List, any questions you have, and even check your camera settings.

At the time of your cooking class, I will video call you through Zoom. Then we’ll get cooking together, everything from scratch! Two hours and two or more dishes later… say goodbye to me, and have an awesome meal with your family or friends.
