Description

Good to Know

Unique culinary experience in Jewish district. Do you know Rugelach? Have you prepared Challah? If you are interested in traditional Central-European Jewish cuisine, come and cook together. Learn about the origin of Jewish dishes and drinks as well as their preparation and have a look at how we live in Budapest. I would like to share a lot of interesting family stories with you. My story: 'My relationship with Jewish people and culture started more than 15 years ago when I got to know my husband. I met him and became part of a modern Jewish family. The main figure of the family is the grandmother whose love for life, attitude and modern way of thinking is an example for me to follow. It was her who taught me the following dishes and I am really grateful to her for introducing me the secrets of Jewish cuisine.'

STARTER

Jewish egg paté with Challah

Challah is a Jewish braided bread which is served with soft egg cream.

MAIN

Honey chicken with dried plum and apricot + boiled rice

This unique main course is made for Rosh Hashanah by Jewish families when they eat honey and other sweets because by this the year will be lucky.

DESSERT

Rugelach

Rugelach is a Hanukkah dessert. Original recipe was more modest than today’s version because today it is made by cream cheese. You must taste it!

Awesome Class!!

This cooking class was one of the best we have done so far. We try to do at least one (and a lot of times more) cooking class in every country we visit in Europe. Marti was awesome! This class is full hands on. She doesn’t just show you how to mix, knead, or stir while she does it all. She shows you or tells you how and then you do it. My husband even enjoyed it. The most cooking he does at home is warm things in the microwave. The food we made was delicious. Marti made cooking fun. You can real...read more

Jewish cooking with a local

Thank you to Marti for sharing her kitchen at short notice to join the Jewish cooking class. Beautiful food cooked in a small group and shared over a glass of Hungarian wine. Loved sharing food and travel tips in Marti’s relaxed kitchen.

Great class!

This cooking class was wonderful! Marti made us feel comfortable and confident while we made delicious food. She taught us helpful tricks, but most importantly-she was a pleasure to spend time with during the class. Being able to speak with her and learn more about Hungarian traditions and life was fabulous. Highly recommend the class and any chance to spend time with Marti.
