A truly wonderful and unique Hungarian experience! - My 18 year old son and I took Marti’s cooking class together while visiting Budapest, and we both had an amazing time! We learned a lot about traditional Hungarian cuisine and the origins of many famous dishes like goulash soup, chicken paprikash, and apple strudel, along with how to buy, store and use the different types of Hungarian paprika. We all participated in the preparation of our meal so we could get a feel for the recipes first hand. Marti then shares all the recipes with everyone via email so we can try them at home. She puts a lot of time and effort into the preparation so that everything goes smoothly during the class and meal. I was so impressed with the entire experience- couldn’t be more pleased or impressed with how it went!!

Perfect scooping school - Had a wonderful evening at the cooking school. The group size was small, which made the experience relaxed, interactive, and very personal. The recipes were absolutely delicious and easy to follow. The chef was incredibly helpful, patient, and shared so many useful cooking tips throughout the class. It was both fun and informative — highly recommend for anyone who enjoys cooking or wants to learn new skills
