Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest

(5 hours)

What to expect in your Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class?

The market tour combines a stroll through all 3 floor levels, guiding you through a food section, with opportunities for tastings, and a non-food section both of which embody the rich Hungarian heritage and culture that is expressed through foods and artifacts such as embroidery, porcelain, clothing and the arts & crafts.

You will taste lángos (savory street food), cottage cheese – chocolate dessert and strudel. Along the way you will experience a unique slice of Budapest’s one-of-a-kind culinary culture.

After the tour we head to our lovely apartment on the Buda side for your private hands-on cooking class.

In your cooking lesson you will learn how to make the traditional Hungarian dishes, you prepare 3 recipes from start to finish. The menu is subject of discussion. After cooking we eat the meals together.
