Market Visit and Traditional Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest

Meet Marti directly at the market for a gastronomical experience, learning about the history of the place, local produce, tasting new ingredients and buying a few things for your cooking class. From Monday to Saturday, she will take you to the Central Market Hall. It is the oldest and largest indoor market in Budapest. You will meet Marti directly at the Central Market Hall and after your market visit drive for 10-minutes to Marti’s home for your cooking class and meal. On Sundays, meet Marti at the local farmer’s market called Szimpla Kert (Simple Garden). Szimpla is one of Budapest’s most iconic ruin pubs which turns into a farmers market every Sunday morning. After you walk around the market and see different local Hungarian specialties, drive for 6-minutes to Marti’s home for your cooking class and meal.

Join Marti in her home converted cooking studio, which is large and well equipped for a hands-on cooking class. She aims to combine traditional family recipes with new technology. You will learn to cook 3 dishes from scratch (soup, main course and dessert) in your 2 hour hands-on cooking class. Her knowledge and passion for cooking is evident in the way she explains how to prepare each dish with step-by-step instructions.

For your meal Marti will be using family recipes from her mother and her husband's grandmother's kitchen. She uses fresh, local and homemade ingredients. After your cooking class, you will join Marti at the dining table to share some traditional Hungarian dishes such as Hungarian goulash or sour cherry soup, chicken paprikash or beef stew, poppy seed bread dumplings or stewed cabbage and gerbeaud (layered cake).
