This experience was incredible. A four hour delightful afternoon that was the highlight of a ten day Danube Cruise. Our teacher-chef Zita was engaging, informative, and very accommodating. Wonderful conversation, cultural connections and great food. As awesome the beautiful sites in Budapest, for lasting memories, connect with Hungarians who live there. This experience will be unforgettable and more lasting than all the photographs you can take.

Cecilia was our tour guide at the Great Market Hall and taught us about Hungarian culture and shared family recipes with us. She is so genuinely nice and friendly. What really got me was that she invited us to bring our little French bulldog to the cooking class! She picked us up and she didn't have to but offered and we accepted and even took us back to the apartment after the class! When she picked us up, she even brought a blanket for our dog to have in the car while we toured the market. We made so much food and she packed it all up for us and we ate leftovers Hungarian food is even better as leftovers! for Christmas Eve dinner at our apartment. We learned a lot and had a really great, unique and memorable Christmas Eve experience.

Easy Cooking Budapest class was so much fun. Cecila began by taking us to the food market and showing us local foods and explaining the history of the building.Her kitchen is wonderful and has everything to make the class enjoyable including excellent Hungarian wine. Everyone in class was given a chance to participate and the final products were delicious. Best of all we were provided with the recipes and a goodie bag to take home with us. I recommend this class to anyone wishing a break from the regular tourist activities. Best when shared with friends.
