Making chicken paprikash with family and new friends!

Great cooking class with wonderful hosts.

Did the morning cookery class creating Chicken Paprikash. Marti was very welcoming and explained everything. Everyone had chance to get involved and the meal at the end was delicious. A great experience in a central location with wonderful hosts.

Great cooking experience

Nice, immersive cooking experience. We learned to make chicken paprikas and spaetzle, both of which came out excellent. Marti was very clear in her instructions and cooking tips and also Hungarian culture in general.

Response from ViatorJune 10, 2026

Thank you for your kind review! I’m delighted that you enjoyed the cooking experience and that the Chicken Paprikash and homemade Nokedli (Hungarian dumplings) turned out so well. One of my goals is to make traditional Hungarian recipes approachable and fun while also sharing a little about Hungarian culture, food traditions, and everyday life in Budapest. It was a pleasure cooking with you, and thank you for choosing my Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest. I hope you will recreate these dishes at home and enjoy a taste of Hungary again.
