Full description

Escape the summer heat and cool down with our authentic cooking class in our fully air conditioned venue! We'll start the tour by exploring the largest indoor market in Hungary, gather fresh ingredients, and then head over to our nearby cooled apartment for a hands-on cooking session and cultural immersion.

We'll start by meeting up at the iconic Central Market Hall of Budapest. From there, we'll take a short walk around the market, chatting about Hungarian history, cuisine, and culture while tasting some of the flavorus of Hungary!

After the Market, we head over to our apartment, where a selection of mouth-watering snacks, like sausages, salamis, dips, and cheeses waiting for us before we get to it!

Then, it's time to roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

Our dishes are tried and true family recipes that have been passed down through the generations and you get to choose what to make:

(Your party can choose one of the following main dishes to prepare.)

The Chicken Paprikash - It's easy, delicious, and super Hungarian!

Beef Goulash Stew - A traditional beef goulash based on our family recipe that will warm your heart!

Mushroom Paprikas or Lecso - A hearty and delicious Hungarian dish, perfectly suitable for vegetarians and vegans alike

(We can provide Halal ingredients upon request.)

And of course, wine, palinka and a surprise souvenir is included as well in the tour!

Looking forward welcoming you!

Just a wonderful experience all around. A fun time cooking a Bulgarian classic, with a new group of friends, and a great guide! I can't thank Mesi enough for being a great teacher and guide. The food and wine were delicious, the conversations tantalizing, and the company delightful. I hope to cooking something different on my next visit.
