We decided to book this class from the reviews here but being the first time we have done any sort of similar class we did not know what to expect. What we got was great food, fun preparing it and a fantastic insight into Hungary. The market tour is a great way to start it off. Agi took us for... More

I booked a cooking class with Agnes while I was in Budapest the first week of March, and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip. She is incredibly warm and inviting, and extends her knowledge of Hungarian cuisine, tradition and culture in a way that makes you feel like a friend, rather than a stranger.... More

Agnes made this experience wonderful. We did the market tour and cooking class, which I'd recommend. She taught us a lot about the food and culture of Budapest while being willing to answer all of our questions. It was great to get such candid exposure to what we were experiencing. The cooking class in her home was also a great... More

We visited just before Christmas when it was freeezing in Budapest! Aggi, her husband and their newest addition to their family greeted us warmly at the door. We were introduced to palinka and delicious canapes (hmmmm I'm salivating at the thought right now!) and felt at home instantly. Got straight to cooking and learnt new onion chopping skills, as well... More

Began with an informative walk through Market Hall. Agi is a talented local foodie/cook. We wandered through the entire market sampling local foods and learning about the food and culture. Do bring your appetite as you will eat all day. After we picked up our groceries we took a cab to her apartment. Also learned the local rules on cabbing...wish... More

Over the Christmas holiday, we traveled to Vienna, Salzburg, Budapest and Prague. Cooking with Agnes (Agi) was hands down one of our favorite experiences. We met Agi at the Central Market and shopped for our ingredients, then took at cab to Agi's cute apartment (appetizers were waiting for us !), cooked and enjoyed a gourmet meal accompanied by wine. While... More

We arrived in Budapest in the middle of a heat wave in July. Despite the heat, Agnes made our time together very enjoyable. She taught us the differences in paprika (never knew bell peppers were California paprika!) and shared information about her life in Budapest. It is one of our special memories in Budapest.

On our recent return trip to Budapest we made sure to save time for another day with Agi and Istvan. Since we have been to the Central Market numerous times we decided to meet Agi at her neighborhood market. Since there tourists were not around we got a better feel for the local lifestyle. As in the past Agi and... More

The description of the agenda on the website is accurate, however, the reality is it will exceed all expectations and is a fabulous introduction to both Hungarian culture as well as the cuisine and history of paprika. We thoroughly enjoyed touring the Market Hall and purchasing the items for our cooking class. Agnes also took us to her local market... More
