Great Afternoon
This traditional cooking has some interesting advantages, in that the ingredients are widely available and there aren't so many steps that you couldn't make this on a regular basis at home, eating well without taking so much time out of your busy schedule. The class itself was great. Agnes is warm and inviting, and knows her history and culture as well as the actual aspects of cooking. She's as willing to help with the basics such as knife skills, important steps like tempering, as well as l learning the techniques of the dishes themselves. In addition to the actual food we were preparing, we got to sample local produce, and of course palinka. Another nice feature is the location. It's actually not far from where my tourists will be staying and touring, but it's still a short walk away from the river on the Buda side. Most people never venture beyond the castle, so we had a nice, short work into the really beautiful neighborhoods at the start of the hilly area.

Knowledgeable Guide, Nice Way To See The City
I enjoyed the notebook of supplemental material the guide carried. A bicycle is a great way to see the city. Our guide had an excellent knowledge of the subjects, including answering questions, and clearly a passion for it as well. She spoke excellent English. We probably could have met closer to the location where the bikes are kept, it's not too hard to find. I felt we could have used a few more stops along the way. Also, the listing should suggest that participants bring water (although the guide carries some water and cups), and should suggest that the ride is moderate, not easy, and may not be suitable for young children.

Arrive Hungry, Leave Happy
To say Ferenc fed us well would be an understatement. From the first tasting, our jaws dropped. Ferenc was beyond generous with not just the food, but his time, stories and humour. Felt that he knew what we enjoyed more, and so spent more time in those places. Ferenc's local knowledge of bars, restaurants, produce and wine seemed endless. He threw in a lot of culture and history as well. He's obviously a guy who loves Budapest and showing it off to its best. At end of tour he happily gave us additional recommendations, as well as his contact details for any questions we had during our stay. He may have regretted that, as we asked questions for days but he was always helpful. Couldn't thank him enough. Was a pleasure to go on tour with Ferenc. I've every intention of going out of my way to return.
Food Tour: Budapest Urban Feast
Great way to see Budapest!
A fantatic and fun way to get orientated to this fabulous city. The over four hour long bike trip took us all over the city including a gruelling climb up the hill to the castle district. Our guide Adam was excellent. His English was perfect. There were many stops and lots of time for photos. And the lunch was very yummy....best goulash ever...except for apparently Adam's mother.

This experience was delightful and informative. We enjoyed this opportunity very much.
Hungarian Home Cooking Class in Budapest
This experience was the highlight of a wonderful few days in this gorgeous city. From the minute we arrived in Agi's home we felt welcome and knew this was going to be a brilliant experience. We were late (don't ask) but this didn't faze her at all, we were met with a glass of pulinka and canapes and after a short introductory chat we set to work. This was no impersonal industrial cookery school but the warm heart of Agi's home,In the 3 hours we were with her we made goulash soup, paprika chicken and Somloi Gluska for dessert. Everything was explained with lots of handy tips (we're both keen cooks but still picked up tips on when to season, how best to skin a chicken and so on) all accompanied with a very nice red wine. We then sat down to a long leisurely lunch when we chatted about the Hungarian way of life and learned about traditional customs and celebrations - so much more interesting than reading up on the subject! When we left we were surprised with a lovely gift (wont spoil the surprise) and as soon as we got home we had copies of our recipes emailed to us complete with more handy tips. This was a wonderful experience and one which we'd love to repeat both with Agi and in other cities.
Hungarian Home Cooking Class in Budapest
Learning how to properly use and cook with paprika was only one if the many highlights of the class. Our walk thru the market was interesting and informative. Agi was wonderful at leading us thru several traditional dishes. It was one if the best cooking classes I've taken on a vacation.
Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest
My sister and I took this cooking class together and it was our favorite thing we did the whole trip. Agi was very nice and explained things thoroughly as we went along. She was able to put together a delicious vegetarian menu for us of vegetable ragu, potato paprika and cottage cheese calls for dessert. Everything was so delicious! We even had hungarian wine and some brandy along the way. Highly recommend!
Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest
We had a short time in Budapest, but read so many wonderful things about the cooking class wee decided it was a "must do." We were not disappointed. Agi and Andrew took us on a wonderful tour of the market and introduced us to many of the items we would be using in the dishes. We noshed on items from the upstairs food vendors and shopped for groceries to complete our meals. This was wonderful because it gave us an opportunity to discuss items that could be substituted for ingredients not available for us at home. Once back at the apartment the fun began. Agi and Andrew were patient in their teaching allowing us to be fully hands on. We talked, laughed, cooked and then enjoyed a fabulous lunch together. Eat light before you meet at the market. If we have the opportunity to return to Budapest we will definitely take another class.
Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest
The welcome from Agi and Andrew was amazing. They opened their home and instructions were superb. I was born in Budapest but never learned the fine art of cooking Hungarian foods. It was the best morning I have spent, I was instructed with clarity and much humour. English was spoken if required. I learned a lot and enjoyed the fruits of my labour. The food was delicious. Agi even sent me off with a bag of homemade paprika which I now use to impress my friends with my culinary skills. I would definitely go back...if you want the real home cooking experience do not miss this. Thank you Agi and Andrew.
Hungarian Home Cooking Class in Budapest
I have just returned from an amazing European trip with my hubby and our best friends and during our time in beautiful Budapest we booked a cooking class with Agi, as I have a small home-based food business in Australia (Canefields Kitchen) and wanted to learn how to cook some Hungarian food from the experts. Agi was on holiday so my friend Ros and I enjoyed a fabulous cooking experience with Agi's co-cook Andrew. It was a wonderful morning and we learnt so much about Hungarian food, culture and lifestyle. The class was held at Agi's apartment, that was easy to get to by the Metro, and was homely and comfortable to work in. The food was simple and delicious and we loved the commentary of Andrew who was a delightful young man with lots of interesting facts and information to share. The food was fun to cook and was very tasty. We also experienced the traditional drink Palinka and some very nice Hungarian wine.Thanks Andrew! we loved the whole experience. Deb & Ros
Hungarian Home Cooking Class in Budapest
Now we're talking!! Tired of the excessively "touristic" spots? Take the class! I've been travelling around and was a little bit tired of castles, monuments, walls, churches, etc. and decided to take a break from all that and do something really "local". It was quite a surprise to get inside someone else's home, take a chair, chat and cook! It was worthy! They spoke good English (just in case you are like me, speaking one or maybe two words in hungarian). Now I will take back to Brazil what I've learned from Andrew and will try this at home...
Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest
We went on the Meals and Wheels tour. Our guide Adam brought us to hidden sites around the city and to the historic sites. Very interesting and Money well spend :-).
Wheels & Meals Budapest Bike Tour
The Meals and Wheels tour was a great way to introduce us to the major tourist sites in Budapest. The bike ride made us feel like kids on an adventure, especially with the squeakers on the handlebars. Our guide, Zsuzsi, was very knowledgeable regarding history, but also made it very memorable with her fun and friendly personality. Out of a group of nine, everybody had a great time and wanted to pay more than the 23 euros it cost.
Wheels & Meals Budapest Bike Tour
I took the "Meals and Wheels" bike tour. The bicycle itself was high-quality, probably the best I have ever had on a bike tour! My tour guide, Laszlo, was excellent: extremely knowledgeable, jovial, and friendly. The Goulash soup lunch also turned out to be the best one I had in Budapest...plus the atmosphere in the park was a nice perk. I agree that Budapest is not the most bicycle-friendly city, but Laszlo was very mindful of every situation and maintained safety at all times. In general this was a great experience and a fantastic way to familiarize oneself with much of the city in a short amount of time. Highly recommended!!
