Budapest Great Market Hall Chef‑Led Private Tasting Tour (opens in a new tab)

81 2 h

Budapest’s markets can feel overwhelming at first — the crowded stalls, the unfamiliar cuts of meat. Many visitors walk through unsure of what they’re seeing or how it fits into everyday Hungarian life. This private tasting tour offers a clear, relaxed way to understand not just the market, but the food, history, and culture that shaped it — through the eyes of someone who grew up with it. My family has lived in Budapest for generations, and food has always been our way of understanding the world. Combined with years cooking professionally in the US and Hungary — including time in a two‑Michelin‑star kitchen and private chef work for visiting actors — I explain Hungarian cuisine through real experience rather than rehearsed stories. As we explore the Great Market Hall, our conversation moves naturally from ingredients to traditions from stories to history. You’ll leave with a full stomach, a deeper sense of Hungarian life, and the feeling that you’ve seen the market the way locals do.

Hungarian Strudel Making Class: Stretch & Fill Two Ways & Wines (opens in a new tab)

82 2 h 30 min

The Strudel is a typical Habsburg-Empire dessert, but it can be originated to the Turkish influence in Hungary. It is an essential part of the wedding dinner in the countryside. I use my mother’s recipe who makes the stretched version. This Strudel pastry is elastic, very thin and it is stretched by the hand. We make sweet and salty Strudel as well. Where I grew up, there were some typical fillings: poppy-seed with pumpkin, salty cabbage and sweet cottage cheese cream. Now you can make these on my special baking course. Come and join my culinary experience, learn about my family tricks and at the end of the course enjoy the result of your efforts. If you are also interested in cooking a complete Hungarian meal, you may enjoy my "Hungarian Cooking Class with Chef Marti" or the 4-hour "Premium Hungarian Cooking Class with Chef Marti."
