Perfect scooping school - Had a wonderful evening at the cooking school. The group size was small, which made the experience relaxed, interactive, and very personal. The recipes were absolutely delicious and easy to follow. The chef was incredibly helpful, patient, and shared so many useful cooking tips throughout the class. It was both fun and informative — highly recommend for anyone who enjoys cooking or wants to learn new skills

Delightful time in Budapest - This cooking class was an absolute highlight of our time in Budapest. Not only was the food authentic and delicious, but the experience went far beyond the kitchen. Our instructor Marti was exceptional—she didn’t just teach recipes, she shared the stories behind them, along with insights into Hungary’s history, from the communist era to today’s evolving political landscape. It felt like cooking, culture, and conversation all blended into one unforgettable evening. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and a much deeper appreciation for Hungarian life. We would take this class again in a heartbeat.

Book with Martí now! So much fun!! - What a Fabulous Time!! Martí could not have been any nicer. She kept us informed with excellent information about our class including directions to the class that were easy to follow. We felt so welcomed from the minute we arrived. Everyone got to participate in the prep and cooking throughout the evening. Martí was a great teacher! She told stories about her life and living in Hungary that kept us engaged the whole night. Finally we sat down to our delicious meal with great wine and good company. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and engaging class while in Budapest.

A Budapest Cultural and Culinary Treasure! - All I need to start with is "Wow!" This was a unique, genuine experience that exceeded expectations. Marti is a gracious, caring instructor who makes you feel welcome and part of her kitchen studio - which is well appointed and comfortable. The instruction, recipes and meal were amazing - and provided a glimpse into the true culture and cuisine of the Hungarian countryside. Five stars for sure!!
