Itinerary

Central Market Hall

one hour

This is a complete culinary experience or you can call it a two-in-one event. In which we combine a 'visit to the local food market' and a Hungarian cooking course. We start on the Central Market Hall, which is the largest and oldest indoor market in Budapest. During the tour we visit the building and you can learn about local ingredients, seasonal vegetables and fruits, typical Hungarian products, shopping habits and the history of the building. We buy some ingredients and you can taste these in our kitchen (please, arrive a little hungry!)

Of course, you can also buy a few packages red paprika powder as a souvenir - we help you in this.

After the market tour, we go to our kitchen studio by taxi.

Meeting-point: next to the main gate (you can find a photo in the gallery).

Schedule:

1. meeting next to the mail gate

3 hours Admission included

After the tour we go to my kitchen (by taxi) and we cook together. We make a 3-course menu with the most famous Hungarian dishes. During the cooking you can taste the local ingredients which were showed on the Market. At the end of the event you can enjoy the result of your efforts: rich meal together.

On my cooking class the participants work together as a team and we make the same menu.

There are 5 different menu options. If you book the event the first, you can choose the menu.
