Must do in Budapest - Marti was lovely, experienced and an excellent teacher. In addition to learning how to cook Hungarian food -- which she made very doable -- she shared a lot with us about her life and her country. A highlight of our 5 days in Budapest.

Our Best Evening of the Week We Spent in Budapest! - Wonderful experience touring the market, followed by a good time cooking and making new friends. I have a hard time making Hot Pockets, but Marti made me a real chef for a day! She's a lovely person, a Budapest native who'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Hungary as well as cooking. Highly recommended.

Great experience - Lovely evening. My husband and I enjoyed the walk through the market with Marty as she explained the products and history. Going to her kitchen, we made dinner with her assistance. It was wonderful and everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend this as it was a definite highlight of our trip.

A Great Experience - Marti is a great guide, chef, host and teacher! We had a very informative walk around the Central Market learning about the various Hungarian food traditions. We then went to Marti's and made Chicken Paprikash and mini dumplings under her expert guidance. She treated us to palinka and a plate of Hungarian cured meats and pickled vegetables ( including baby watermelons!) whilst we cooked. Having just got home, we have made it again - with great success 😁. See picture.

Highlight of our trip to Budapest - We had a wonderful time with Marti. The market tour was very interesting, going early on Monday morning was bonus as it was not too busy. The cooking class in her kitchen was definitely a highlight of our time in Budapest. It was a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed eating the fruits of our labours together with Marti. Thanks Marti

Amazing Hungarian Cooking Class with Marti - Our chef Marti was an absolute gem! Her knowledge of cooking techniques as well as Budapest history was so educational. Not only did she provide us with stories of Budapest she told us of her growing up in the countryside with her family and how they grew their own food and how it shaped what she is doing now. The dishes that we cooked with Marti were delicious. While we were nervous at first, Marti welcomed us with open arms and we felt at home with a dear friend. I highly recommend taking any classes that Marti is offering. You will definitely have a great time and learn so much while enjoying making delicious Hungarian delicacies!

Cooking in Budapest - This was one of the highlights from our trip to Budapest. Marta is the best! We cooked Sour Cherry Soup (so freakin good ), Chicken Paprikas, and Gundel Pancakes. Learned a ton. Very hands on. Can’t wait to try the recipes when we get back home. We had great conversations, drinks, and of course, local meats, vegetables, cheeses from the market. Marta really shows how to get immersed into the Hungarian way of life. Worth every minute. Book it! It’s worth it!
