Cook Hungarian classics with Chef Marti in a cozy Budapest apartment, enjoying local bites, wine, recipes, and practical cultural tips.
“Superleuke ervaring met een zeer vriendelijke en enthousiaste dame. Het adres van de locatie was goed te vinden, maar het was efkens spannend om het gebouw binnen te geraken, want er zijn meerdere appartementen en wij hadden niet goed opgelet op welk nummer wij moesten zijn. Wij werden supervriendelijk ontvangen en door een andere afzegging, bleek dat mijn echtgenoot en ik slechts met ons twee dus eigenlijk een privéles kregen. De uitleg over de chicken paprikash was zeer duidelijk en stapsgewijs konden wij zelf alles klaar snijden en bereiden. Ook de bereiding van de bijhorende Späzle (soort deegwaren) was voor ons een ontdekking. Tussendoor was er ook nog een hapje…”

“This cooking class was one of the best we have done so far. We try to do at least one (and a lot of times more) cooking class in every country we visit in Europe. Marti was awesome! This class is full hands on. She doesn’t just show you how to mix, knead, or stir while she does it all. She shows you or tells you how and then you do it. My husband even enjoyed it. The most cooking he does at home is warm things in the microwave. The food we made was delicious. Marti made cooking fun. You can really tell that she loves her job.”
