• Central Market Hall - Preparing delicious authentic dishes together with friends or family from fresh local ingredients is a defining part of Hungarian tradition.

With this experience I’m hoping to create and share some of these moments with you, so hopefully you’ll walk away full, with new and amazing recipes and memories of Hungary.

We’ll meet up at the front of the iconic Central Market Hall of Budapest and gather fresh seasonal ingredients from local merchants depending on the season and availability.

After we’ve acquired the ingredients for the dish, we’ll take a short 5-minute walk to a “Budapest” style flat, and we’ll get ready for cooking!

Before we begin preparing the dish, we’ll snack from some of the ham, sausage or cheeses that we earlier bought from the market.

The plan is to learn to make one traditional dish, based on family recipes from Hungary and Transylvania.

Once the dish is cooking, I’ll bring out my collection of Hungarian Post cards from the 1900’s that will show you how Hungary looked a 100 years ago, and if you like one, you can even keep it as a unique memory!
