Hungarian cooking experience, Hungarian cuisine


If you're curious what makes Hungarian cuisine so unique, and you'd love to learn how to cook some of the country's most iconic dishes, this cooking experience is for you. It's the perfect choice for those who want to explore the world of traditional flavours — and enjoy an authentic Hungarian Cooking Experience.

We believe that great Hungarian food starts with fresh, quality ingredients. That's why we source everything from trusted local farmers and butchers, so every dish is rich with real flavours. And what better way to understand these ingredients than by shopping together? One of our programs even includes a guided walk through the Great Market Hall — a Hungarian Cooking Experience that begins with the very first bite.

To make sure the atmosphere is just right, you'll be welcomed by three warm-hearted hosts — all passionate home cooks and professional chefs in one. They share their knowledge with heart and soul, spending time with anyone who's curious to discover the depth of our cuisine and experience a true Hungarian Cooking Experience.

Many guests return again and again — because they find not only delicious food, but a welcoming community and joyful memories. This is more than a cooking class. It's a journey full of flavours, laughter, and connection. Come join us — let's cook together and have fun!

The Team

"My grandma's poppy seed bread pudding (mákos guba) is still my all-time favorite — those flavors shaped the heart of my kitchen. I cook for my family every day, because for me, cooking is a way to care and connect.

Gastronomy runs in our family — my dad runs a well-known butcher shop in the countryside, and I grew up surrounded by fresh, quality ingredients.

I love blending traditional Hungarian recipes with a fresh, modern touch.

As a certified chef and nutritionist, I believe every dish should be not only delicious, but also balanced and nourishing.

Join me in the kitchen and discover how joyful, vibrant and surprisingly easy Hungarian cooking can be!"

"I've spent my whole life cooking — from traditional recipes to modern twists, I've done it all (and probably written about it too!).

I love when a table is full of flavors, laughter, and stories — just like at our family gatherings.

Even though my kids are grown up, they still come running when there's food on the table.

As a chef and English teacher, I'll make sure you feel right at home while learning more than just how to cook.

Earlier in my career, I also worked as a tour guide — so I know Budapest's culinary scene like the back of my hand. Come cook with me, and let's create something truly memorable together!"

"As a chef and pastry artist, I founded the cooking school in 2016 with one simple mission: to keep real flavors and traditional recipes alive — something my team and I work toward every single day.

I grew up on a family farm where we raised animals and grew everything ourselves — a life deeply rooted in tradition.

Today, I follow my own path, but I still believe in the power of honest ingredients and love sharing experiences that are truly close to my heart.

I've traveled the world to explore different cultures, tastes, and traditions — and it's made me truly appreciate where I come from, and help guests discover what makes Hungarian gastronomy so special. I think my grandfather, a true farmer, would be proud of me."

"We were looking for a great experience in Budapest and booked this trip at home. From the beginning it was so colorful. We leared a lot about the gastronomy and had enough time in the market to buy some souvenirs as well from the best places. All ingredients were so fresh and delicious. Amazing host and perfect time together with friends. Thank you! "

Simply the best
