“I'm so glad we booked this experience. More than just a cooking class we got a tour and history of Central Market plus just enough history and geography of Hungary. Our host Ben did a great job making everyone at ease and ensuring everyone got to participate. We bought all the ingredients for chicken paprikash and he explained a lot about paprika and the products for sale in the market. The dish, the chicken and the noodles, was simple enough to reproduce at home but wonderfully tasty. We also had a sampling of sausages, cheeses and pickled foods and wine to snack on before and during cooking. We ended right…”

“What a great experience ! This is a delightful experience. We had a great time cooking and the food is wonderful. Marti is an amazing host and cook. We learned how to keep are traditional dishes and she still made us feel spoiled by serving us after we prepare the meals. I highly recommend this cooking tour/class.”

“George was wonderful! Loved the cooking event and learned so much!”

“Fun time & delicious results Vezna was a wonderful teacher. We learned so much!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“What a special experience. Kata was a fantastic host. Extremely knowledgeable, funny and totally down to earth. She made us feel right at home. The tour of the market was great. More importantly this is where locals buy food. The cooking class was really fun. My wife and I were fortunate to be the only students. We left with a wonderful experience and recipes for a life time. Don’t miss this in Budapest.”

“We had a great time in the Pixie Kitchen Marti and Gabor could not have been nicer to us. We learned how to cook Hungarian and took our skills back home to cook for our friends. We also got a glimpse into life in Budapest through a local's perspective, invaluable. A great evening of cooking, talking and, oh yes, eating delicious food we helped prepare. The highlight of our stay in Budapest!!!!”

“Marti was a terrific host! We very much enjoyed the eclectic market she took us through. Her kitchen site was adorably decorated. Her homemade fruit drinks and jams were an extra treat. Her stories growing up in the countryside were extremely interesting. And, of course, the food selections and cooking opportunities were perfect. Definitely recommend!”

“Our chef was great, very informative. Good, gentle directions. Explained each step well. We did cold cherry soup, chicken paprikash, and apple strudel. Learned some new techniques. Loved the class. Would highly recommend.”
