About

What to Expect from Your Budapest Cooking Class Roll up your sleeves. This is a hands-on experience—you won’t just watch, you’ll cook each dish yourself, with personal guidance throughout.

Step into a real Hungarian home. Our classes take place in a welcoming private kitchen, offering an authentic setting to learn and connect over food.

Prepare a complete 3-course meal. Over the course of 3 to 4 hours, you’ll cook a full menu—typically a soup, main course, and dessert. The menu is flexible and can be tailored to include dishes you’re curious about.

Learn at your own pace. No prior cooking experience is needed. Whether you’re an experienced home cook or a beginner, we’ll guide you step by step.

Discover culinary traditions. Alongside cooking techniques, we’ll share the stories, ingredients, and customs that make Hungarian cuisine so distinctive.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Once the cooking is done, we sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared—served with local wine or a glass of pálinka, Hungary’s beloved fruit brandy.

We can accommodate vegetarians. Reserve your spot today!

Why Choose This Budapest Cooking Class? Taste the best of Hungary. Ever spotted a delicious dish on someone’s plate and wondered what it was—or how to order it? Here, you’ll learn to make it yourself, using authentic ingredients and traditional techniques.

Hands-on learning with a real local host. You can watch cooking shows all day, but nothing compares to learning by doing—in a real kitchen, with personal guidance and practical tips you won’t find in any cookbook.

It’s genuinely fun. Whether you join as a couple, with a friend, or for a family experience, you’ll enjoy great company, a few laughs, and the joy of creating something together.

Eat like a local. Restaurants are nice—but they don’t serve the kind of home-cooked food families eat on Sundays. This class gives you that experience: real, comforting, and full of character.

Tailored just for you. This is a private class, designed around your interests. The menu is flexible, and the pace is set by you. Whether you’re curious about classic goulash or something less familiar, we make it happen.

Get insider insight. Your host is not just your cooking guide—they’re your cultural connection. Ask us anything—from language tips to where to find the best espresso or which local spots are truly worth your time
