Hungarian Strudel Making Class: Stretch & Fill Two Ways
Overview
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
The Strudel is a typical Habsburg-Empire dessert, but it can be originated to the Turkish influence in Hungary. It is an essential part of the wedding dinner in the countryside. I use my mother’s recipe who makes the stretched version. This Strudel pastry is elastic, very thin and it is stretched by the hand. We make sweet and salty Strudel as well. Where I grew up, there were some typical fillings: poppy-seed with pumpkin, salty cabbage and sweet cottage cheese cream. Now you can make these on my special baking course. Come and join my culinary experience, learn about my family tricks and at the end of the course enjoy the result of your efforts.

5.00We highly recommend Flavors of Budapest Cooking School. Marti’s strudel making class was fun and very informative. In addition to the preparation technique, we also learned a lot about Hungarian ingredients and culture.

5.00Márti's Stretch & Bake Hungarian Strudel class was a highlight of our visit to Budapest! Márti creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and provides clear directions, useful "secret" tips, and lots of wonderful conversation. It's truly a hands-on experience. And the Hungarian bites and strudel made for a delicious end to the baking experience! Highly recommend.

5.00I've been to a few cooking classes now but this was definitely one of the best experiences. Marti is really friendly and a good teacher. She imparted lots of knowledge about the technique of strudel making but also about the history of Hungarian cuisine. We had a lovely time and would definitely join another of her classes when we return to Budapest!
Excellent teacher, very...

5.00So glad my friend booked this class and invited me to attend. There ended up being 4 friends who went, and we all had a fantastic time. Marti made sure to include each and every one of us in the strudel making process. She is so passionate about what she does and really made this an enjoyable experience. I feel this is well priced for what you receive - the bites and drinks were delicious and we got to take home the strudel that we had made. I would highly recommend to anyone - even if you do not know your way around a kitchen!
Marti was fantastic! Highly recommend.

5.00This was such a lovely experience and Marti was wonderful. We made two kinds of strudel and had an informative and hands-on experience that made my friend and me want to try this at home. Plus, the wine, snacks, and ability to eat what we created made for a memorable evening.

5.00What a brilliant way to spend a morning! We had a great time learning about how to make a traditional Hungarian strudel and loved the hands on experience. To round off the day we ate the strudel and washed it down with a local Hungarian wine. The studio set up was a home from home. Absolutely fantastic so please go and book this experience
Great experience. Everyone must do this

5.00I recently took part in a strudel-making class and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. We made apple strudel and a cottage cheese & cherry version. The instructor created a very engaging and hands-on environment, encouraging us to check the dough at multiple stages so we could really understand the process. It felt like I truly learned something—not just followed a recipe. The studio itself was beautiful and incredibly well-equipped. Honestly, if I ever open my own cooking space in the future, I’d love to model it after this one. The instructor was clearly well-prepared and experienced, and it showed in every detail of the session. Strudel is not something you can easily learn just from YouTube—this class made all the difference. Highly recommended!
Must do in budapest

5.00What a great experience! Marti (the owner) is an amazing chef with a deep knowledge of cooking. The class was very hands-on and we came with a family of 5 including 3 young girls 8, 11, 12. I would take any of her classes.
