Chef Vesna provided the four of us with an excellent tour of the City Market and an even better and more enjoyable hand-on cooking class. We prepared and the n ate 3 traditional and delicious Hungarian dishes: goulash, chicken paprikash, and and apple streusel variation. The 4-5 hour tour and class was relaxed, with excellent guidance on cooking technique and management of seasoning, resulting in a delicious lunch. Vesna was both skilled and charming. The facilities were fully furnished with all the necessary kitchen tools to make the class flow smoothly. We would totally recommend this experience to foodies or those experimenting with cooking.
Everything done well. Great tour of market. Real fun cooking class. We had to do everything, so we learned a lot. Then ate what we had prepared and we were proud what we had done.
There were some interesting cooking tips. The cooking portion of the class lasted 5 long hours. The cooking process did not match the recipe. I came to this class to learn the preparation and taste of authentic Hungarian food, but too often we were told to season to our taste. I wanted Hungarian taste. My food turned out bland which I have heard Hungarian food is not.
If I could give this more that 5 stars, I would. Our excursion with Viking was canceled, so I signed up for the class the night before and they were ready to go in the morning. It was just my mom and I and the instructor, Balazs. He was AWESOME! We made Gulyasleves (Goulash Soup), Csirkepaprikas, nokedli (Chicken Paprikash & Gnocchi) and Almas Retes (Apple Strudel). He had us do all the work, from chopping, measuring, seasoning, tasting and preparing. Then we all sat down to a lovely meal. Drinks were included. We had a lot of leftovers, so we gave the soup and chicken to Balazs and we took the apple strudel to share with our friends from our Viking River cruise. I HIGHLY recommend this class. We had been at the market the day before, so we didn't sign up for that. Another highlight... no dishes to wash. The kitchen/school was outfitted with everything you could need in a kitchen. Well done! I hope that when I try the recipes at home they come out half as good.
We had a great experience with Bernadett! We had the chance to cook and eat Hungarian food! Everything was delicious! The place was clean and very well organized. If you like to try new flavors, this is great opportunity!!!
