The workshop with Marti was very profesional, engaging and enjoyable, no minute was left without an activity and beyond the delicious Chicken Paprikash that we cooked together along with 3 other worderful students, we had the chance to hear a lot of interesting stories about Hungarian food and culture as well as to taste indulging drinks and savory bites from the rich Hungarian tradition. Warmly advice to have the course with Marti, she is a wonderful chef and teacher.

I would highly recommend this class. It was so worth the money. Marti was an exceptional teacher- her cooking knowledge & love of cooking was evident throughout the class. Our finished product was delicious & I have made it since my return to the states. She made cooking fun & I learned so much from her.

This cooking class was wonderful on so many levels. The kitchen was very impressive and in a beautiful setting. The food was delicious and chef Mari couldn’t have been any sweeter. She taught us all about not just Hungarian food but also their traditional meals and celebrations. I HIGHLY recommend this event !

On a recent trip to Budapest I had the pleasure of meeting Marta and experiencing one of the best cooking classes I have ever taken. From the moment I arrived till the very end, it was not only a wonderful evening of delicious foods and equally fun learning how to prepare new delicious recipes. I would highly recommend taking a class from Marta, if you’re visiting Budapest.

This was our third class with Flavors of Budapest -- and the first time we've joined a group class. Having other chefs-for-the-day in the kitchen with us was so much fun! We loved not only cooking with new friends, but enjoying a dining experience featuring the meal we'd just prepared together. Definitely recommend!

We recently had a team meeting in Budapest with about 45 team members. One of our team events were learning how to cook some local foods and it was an overall hit. It was coupled with some finger, food and wine in the beginning, and they were even kind enough to bring out a slice of birthday cake so the team can sing happy birthday to one of our colleagues.Overall great experience and a fantastic event to have as a team or group.
