“Learning how to use and cook with paprika was just one of the many highlights of the class. Our walk through the market was interesting and informative, and Agnes was wonderful at guiding us through several traditional Hungarian dishes. This was one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever taken while traveling.” – Lynne S., Washington
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
WWe had such a wonderful time with Aggie! She was such a fun and generous host. There were 5 of us and she was able to give each of us things to do. The food was excellent (seriously, if you’re not familiar with Hungarian food, please do something like this). It was very memorable! – Chris A. Winter Garden, Florida
