The MARKET TOUR with COOKING is a complete gastronomical experience or you can call it a two-in-one program. In which I combined a visit to the local Market and the cooking course.
We start in the Market, I talk about the history of the building and the local products. We buy the ingredients for the 3-course menu and you can taste the most popular Hungarian street-food as well. After the Market tour the cooking course begins, which ends with a delicious, rich meal. It takes more than 5 hours but you will have a memorable event.

- the recipes of the dishes, which you can take back home,
- my help and guidance (I am a professional cook),

- 3-course Hungarian menu (soup, main course and dessert),
- a taste of Hungarian specialties on the local Market,

I am a professional cook and a real culinary fanatic from Budapest. I love cooking, baking and catering. A long time ago I learnt to cook from my mother, then I have attended several cooking courses but I only cooked and baked for my friends at home. Then I started the professional cook school and passed the exam. I learnt and worked a lot, it was hard work, but I enjoyed every moment of it. (Okay, there were some days in summer when the temperature was more than 40 degrees Celsius in the restaurant’s kitchen and I felt it was crazy). During my practice time I worked in SOFITEL Budapest Chain Bridge Hotel and ARANY KAVIAR Russian fine-dining restaurant. I met a lot of fantastic chefs and teachers who helped my development. I use this knowledge in my own kitchen.I organize different private dinings in the centre of Budapest, where you can taste the traditional Hungarian and Central-European Jewish dishes.Our goal is a memorable moment and experience for my guests.I would like to welcome you to my place for a real private dinner where you can learn about local food, culture and customs as well.Come and join my unique experience for a few hours in Budapest.

Marti was amazing, what a terrific morning and meal! We are lucky in that we learned some new meals to prepare and made a new friend! Her tour of the market was fun, informative, and yummy (yay for very fresh Langos)! Our drive back to her special kitchen was filled with the history and information about the neighborhoods. The meal prep was fun and informative, peppered with more snacks and local wine. The food we prepared was delicious and well presented. We loved the entire event.

Exceptional host and experience. Marta’s attention to detail was amazing, she went ‘above and beyond’ to create such a memorable experience. My partner and I can not recommend her highly enough. The dinner was delicious and plentiful and the wine was amazing. She was very informative about the food, ingredients and some of her family history. I would definitely add this to the list of experiences when in Budapest! Thankyou Marta!
