Budapest: Authentic 3-Course Hungarian Cooking Class with Wine
Overview
Do you like cooking and would you like to discover Hungary through gastronomy?
I am a professional chef and would be happy to share everything with you about Hungarian cuisine.
I love cooking and eating great food. It is fantastic when my kitchen is full of life: somebody is chopping onions, someone else is preparing the meat or kneading dough, and we are talking, laughing, and enjoying the wonderful smell of food filling the whole place.
While you are in Budapest, come, cook together, and enjoy this unique atmosphere in the centre.
This 100% hands-on cooking class gives you a memorable experience.
If you don't have enough time for the full 4-hour experience:
please look for my "Budapest Authentic Hungarian Cooking Class with Wine" event: 2.5-hour class where you make one iconic Hungarian dish and learn about local ingredients, cuisine, customs and everyday life.
You may also enjoy my "Hungarian Strudel Making Class for a hands-on Hungarian baking experience.
