About this activity

Discover Hungarian cuisine through a 4-hour culinary experience combining a market visit and hands-on cooking.

Start at Budapest’s iconic Central Market Hall, where you will explore the market with your local chef and discover Hungarian ingredients, food traditions and everyday life. Then continue to my kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience and learn how to prepare a traditional Hungarian dish under my guidance.

This is more than a cooking class – it is a chance to experience Hungarian food culture, learn about local ingredients and customs, and enjoy an authentic culinary experience in Budapest.
