Strudel, a customary dessert from the Habsburg Empire, is thought to have originated from Turkish influences in Hungary. It is a fundamental component of rural wedding feasts. I utilize my mother’s procedure for the hand-stretched version. The Strudel dough is supple, extremely thin and hand-stretched. We create both sweet and savory Strudels. In my hometown, typical fillings included poppy-seed with pumpkin, sweet or savory cabbage, and sweet cottage cheese cream. You now have the opportunity to craft these Strudels at my exclusive baking class. I invite you to become a part of my gastronomic journey, discover my familial secrets, and savor the fruits of your labor at the conclusion of the course.

Bucket List Class for Me! - The one thing I wanted to do on my first visit to Budapest was to learn how to make strudel for my 91 year old Hungarian Dad. I was so happy to find Marti's class. And I was not disappointed!
Marti is kind and patient in her teaching. Her hands on approach allows everyone to touch the ingredients as well as participate in the preparation. Learning the family history of strudel making helps bring it even more alive! It reminded me of the stories Dad told us of his mom while growing up.
The instructions were easy to follow, the ingredients basic to find, and Marti's guidance made it easy to do.
The strudel was amazing - both the aroma while baking and the taste when done. And by the time I got back to my apartment I had received an email with an assortment of recipes for different strudels to make at home.
From start to finish the experience was wonderful! Marti is a beautiful host! From homemade soft drinks, an experienced and informative hands on tutorial, Hungarian wine and snacks, to enjoying the finished product, every moment is delicious and fun!
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn more about the Hungarian culture and it's foods!
Definitely a bucket list moment in my life! Thank you Marti!

A Must-Do in Budapest - One of the most enjoyable things we've ever done in Budapest. We go to Budapest at least twice a year and always look for new things to do. We attended the strudel making class. Marti shared with us her grandmother's recipe and old-world style of making traditional strudel, along with interesting anecdotal stories of Hungarian family life past and present. It was a fabulous evening! Highly recommended.

Highlight of the trip - This was so fun, interesting and yummy!! The wine and appetizers were delicious, learned about the different Paprikas. Then got to learn about the background of strudel and all the different fillings you can use, not just the ones we made. The best part was just talking with our hostess/teacher. She is lovely, informative and so welcoming. And BTW - the strudel came out GREAT. Just don't do it the last night of your trip so you can have leftovers!! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Must do Experience with Marti! - This was the best experience of our trip! WE LOVE IT. Marti welcomed us into her kitchen as if we were entering her home as her own family! She was a wealth of information about the area, her culture and of course cooking! She was so accomodating, warm and personable! I just can't recommend this experience enough! If you are in Budapest this is a must do!

Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience! Marti was so patient and informative as she taught us how to make strudel from scratch. It was a fun and relaxing experience with tasty snacks along with special drinks. And the best part of all was learning how to stretch dough into a gigantic sheet across the table and add the ingredients roll up and bake. Even better we get To eat our creation. I highly recommend this as an activity when you were in Budapest. You will not regret it! It might be the highlight of our trip. Thank you, Marti!!

Authentic Strudel and Teacher - When traveling to a new place it is always fun to experience the culture authentically by someone who is an expert. This is the activity to get a taste of true Hungry.
Marty the host was very welcoming, patient and informative. You can hear the joy in her voice and words as she instructs you on the art of making strudel and shares her history with it. This is hands on and everyone gets to participate.
While, I have had strudel previously -- I did not know a lot about how it is made. When I saw pictures of the dough stretched to it's limit -- I wanted to see that first hand.
The experience from start to finish was amazing. It is for all ages. The strudel was outstanding! Don't think twice -- just sign up! You won't be disappointed.

My Hungarian Highlight - I remember my Hungarian grandmother making strudel and hand stretching the dough as a young child. I wanted to relive that experience since she is no longer here to teach me herself. This was a wonderful class with Marti that our family was able to participate in and enjoy. The strudel making experience brought back so many memories which I can now share at home.
