Learn Austrian apple strudel and Salzburger Nockerl in a small Salzburg cooking class with lunch, local tips, and hands-on pastry fun.

“The experience itself was lovely. Removed a star because the assistant to the instructor dropped a cloth on the ground by our feet and then used it to wipe the cooking table down after. Kinda gross to do at a cooking school. Enjoyed our experience, still. Also the bar is CASH only. They didn't mention this when offering. We were lucky we had cash on us when we got the bill settled. Bring cash if you want a drink.”

Had the pleasure to meet her wonderful and helpful boys, the oldest speaks very good english. The only thing, since menu is small it would have been nice to chose, upon reservation, what we have like to learn to cook. Otherwise it was a fantastic experience and recommend the course.”
