Meet Marti (Strudel)

Marti worked as a marketing manager for many years and cooking was a hobby. She learned to cook from her mother and loved cooking and baking for family and friends, and hosting them at home. She always dreamt of having her own studio one day, as cooking gave her so much of joy. Soon her dream became a reality - she quit her job and re-designed her home kitchen into a cooking studio and started to offer culinary experiences. Later she decided to better her skills and enrolled herself in cooking school and became a professional chef. Through her cooking class, Marti’s aim is to share more about Hungarian food, customs, everyday life and the famous Hungarian hospitality. Join Marti on this culinary journey to share stories, recipes, laughter and food like old friends!

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (4-12 guests) Join Marti in her cooking studio for a hands-on strudel making class in Budapest. Her cooking studio is in a historic building that was built in the 1920s. It is conveniently located in downtown Budapest and is a 12-minute walk from the Hungarian State Opera House. The studio is large and a well equipped space for a hands-on Hungarian baking class. Learn to make the strudel pastry dough from scratch using a family recipe and then choose two fillings to create your own pastry: apple, sweet farmer cheese with sour cherry, poppy-seed with pumpkin, sweet or salty cabbage. You can taste these local Hungarian ingredients, before deciding your filling for the class. The strudel pastry dough is very elastic and thin and it is stretched by the hand. In your 2.5 hour baking class, Marti will share family recipes and tricks to bake the perfect strudel, all while sharing information about local ingredients, culinary customs and culture. After baking, sit down to eat the strudels you baked, which will be served along with a glass of water and homemade soft drink or Hungarian wine (red or white) or coffee.

Notes: Marti can accommodate a vegetarian diet, so please inform her your preference when booking this Hungarian baking class in Budapest online.

We had an awesome cooking experience with Marty at her apartment in the 7th District. We made a traditional meal of Hungarian Goulash, chicken hortobagy and a chocolate/nut layer cake for desert. We drank wine, cooked, chatted about Hungarian culture and history and ate our wonderful dinner. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marty!!
