Review of Budapest’s market-to-table cooking class, with Hungarian dishes, wine, local stories, dietary notes, price, and practical booking advice.

“This cooking class was so fun and cosy and well organised, and Kinga was an excellent guide and host. She was passionate, very knowledgeable and so kind and friendly. We cooked in a cosy apartment and it felt so homely, and we all ate together after. The experience was not rushed, I felt very relaxed. I highly recommend this experience and I’m so glad I did it ☺️”
