We had a great time during our private strudel baking course and can absolutely recommend it :)
It was great that the baking was in private, so my friend and I could learned all the steps from the beginning to the end.
Marti is a great host and during the baking we also tried some typical hungarian food bites like the hungarian sausages and peppers and of course the hungarian parlinka.
In summary we had a really lovely evening and the strudel was really delicious :)

I can’t say enough good things about Chef Marti and Flavors of Budapest. Culinary Experiences. Chef Marti was very responsive to all of my emails and was able to tailor a cooking class two times that worked for our group.
The Flavors of Hungary establishment is centrally, located near the opera house, which worked great for our party. The establishment is decorated lovely, lots of room for large groups to cook, and large tables to sit and enjoy what you have prepared.
In three hours we prepared lunch and dessert plus were able to enjoy “a Hungarian cheeseboard” and local wines.
Should you be vacationing in Budapest our group would highly recommend this cooking experience. Learning recipes that you can easily prepare once your vacation is over and you are back home.
We had great fun and made great memories. Thank you Chef Marti.

What made my strudel making experience stand out was Chef Marti’s style. She carefully crafted every aspect of the experience to be replicated at home. For example, we used appliances similar to the ones in my own kitchen; we used ingredients I could find at my local farmers market; and she didn’t just demonstrate techniques, it was all hands-on.
Marti’s kitchen studio is simply stunning and her hospitality was nothing less than gracious and heartfelt. She shared her family strudel recipes and told personal stories about Hungarian culture.
From the moment I put on my apron until I took my last bite, this experience exceeded my expectations.

Wow!! This was such an amazing experience - really once in a lifetime! Definitely recommend learning more about how delicious Hungarian foods are prepared and sharing in this unique cultural exchange. Marti is such a kind and gracious host (as well as an amazing cook!). She does a great job walking you through the traditional Hungarian recipes, sharing her wealth of kitchen knowledge, and giving you a little history while making cooking fun. I am really not much of a cook at home, but thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this dinner
- from the homemade soda to the chopping and prepping, and of course, the tasting! So it’s great, even if you’re a beginner. Our menu included beef goulash, chicken paprikash, and gerbeaud cake. Each step was so cool to see, and the end result was delicious! I was so full by the end of the meal that I could have rolled home, and there was still plenty leftover. If you're thinking about it, just do it :)

I truly enjoyed the Jewish cooking class. Marta supplemented the cooking lesson with some historical and traditional context behind Jewish Hungarian cuisine. The class was a good length of time and unlimited drinks were served including homemade sodas. The apartment where we cooked was lovely and located in a historic building with high ceilings and a modern & clean atmosphere. My favorite part of the class was making challah (Jewish bread)! I highly recommend for anyone looking to add some recipes to their cooking menu.

Marti was amazing! She provided a unique and unforgettable experience that felt authentically connected to Budapest and to Marti. Would definitely recommend for any size group! The market tour and cooking were both great and the highlight of our trip!

This was such an enjoyable time with Chef Marti. The small group was perfect to allow all to participate in the actual making of the strudel. While we anxiously waited for the strudel to bake Chef Marti served us an appetizer with a traditional paprika paste spread. This spread was so delicious that we went right from the class to the market to purchase some jars of paste to take home❗️.
We definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn how to make traditional strudel while enjoying a fun evening.

Marti was a fantastic instructor and a great host to me an my small family. She was very welcoming and accommodating. In the end, we had a delicious home cooked meal using local ingredients and left with a much better sense and understanding of Hungarian culture from the childhood stories we heard.

I can't say enough good things about spending the afternoon and evening with Chef Marti. So much more than a cooking class. She brings the history and culture of Budapest to life. And then you get to enjoy the meal you've helped create in her lovely homey culinary workshop!

What a lovely way to spend a morning in Budapest. Marti was the perfect cook and host. We made goulash soup, chicken paprika with pancakes and a delicious walnut layer cake. Would thoroughly recommend.
