Vegetarian Cooking Class
A fresh, vegetarian take on Hungary’s most beloved flavors — authentic, comforting, and full of tradition. Hungarian cuisine isn’t only about meat — it’s about flavor, depth, and heart.
Duration: 3-4 hours
Many of the dishes our grandparents loved were built on vegetables, grains, and the magic of paprika long before “vegetarian” had a name.
In this immersive 3–4 hour class, you’ll prepare three full vegetarian dishes from scratch, inspired by classic Hungarian recipes and adapted with authentic techniques. Think seasonal vegetable soups, rich paprika stews and warm, home-style desserts that taste like childhood.
Whether you follow a vegetarian lifestyle, explore plant-based cooking, or want to reconnect with the foods your Hungarian family once made, this class offers a delicious way to experience our culinary heritage — without compromise.
Warm, hands-on, and full of flavor, it’s a fresh look at Hungarian cooking through a lighter, greener lens.
“We had such a great time cooking with Agnes! She went above and beyond altering our menu to satisfy my vegetarian diet but allowing my husband to enjoy meat dishes too. It was very interesting to visit a local apartment, immerse in the culture and spend a day shopping and cooking, just beware of getting very full!!”
Onnex M. From Niagara Falls, Canada
What to expect from your Hungarian cooking class?
Your class is a relaxed, hands-on cooking experience where every step is guided with calm, expert instruction. Over the course of 3–4 hours, you’ll prepare a complete three-course vegetarian meal, working with fresh, seasonal ingredients and classic Hungarian flavors.
The menu is flexible — you can choose dishes you’re curious about or select from guest favorites, and we’ll shape the class around your preferences.
You’ll cook in a comfortable home kitchen environment, learning practical techniques you can easily recreate at home. The pace is unhurried; every step is clear and approachable, whether you’re an experienced cook or a complete beginner.
After the cooking is done, we sit down together and enjoy the meal you’ve created.
Hands-on and personal.
Flexible menu.
Clear, step-by-step guidance.
Ingredients, drinks, and recipes included.
“My husband and I enjoyed Agnes teaching us Hungarian vegetarian cooking- that in itself is a challenge in meat loving Hungary. Our jointly cooked lunch was indeed delicious. This was our most intimate experience on Hungarian life, and we loved our visit to Budapest so much more because of our wonderful cooking class.”
Rachael S. from the US
What’s included:
“While in Budapest, our four-hour cooking class was definitely one of the highlights. We weren’t able to do the Market tour due to time constraints, but thoroughly enjoyed our chance to cook with Agnes. It was a pleasure to be able to choose the menu, learn about ingredients and access a bit of Hungarian culture in this way.” Linda C. from Oregon
Spaetzle
Cucumber salad
Why choose this tour?
“Our family really enjoyed the cooking class with Agnes. She was so fun and we learned a lot about Hungary. We made goulash, stuffed cabbage rolls, and crepes. My daughters enjoyed learning some new tips and we will definitely be making everything again back at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!”
Julie Alcala from Chicago
