What is included in the 5-hour programme?
1. Live Guide
Let's meet at the Market Hall and start our adventure together in search of the ingredients for a real Hungarian menu! As we shop together, you'll discover the atmosphere of one of Budapest's most beautiful markets, meet local artisans and producers, and even take home a lovely souvenir to remember us by.

3. Transfer to the kitchen
After the shopping is over, you will be picked up and taken to the Chef Premiere cooking school, where you can enjoy the best of Hungarian cuisine. The Chef will be waiting for you at the door, as Hungarians do - with a glass of pálinka. God-God! Bottoms up!
4. Ingredients for cooking
We will talk about the ingredients you may not know about or may not be used to eating, and we will show you how Hungarian cuisine processes and uses red pepper, dairy products and meat products.
5. Hungarian traditional recipes
We not only pass on traditional recipes, but also their history. They say, "The Hungarian is crying" or eating himself to death. Well, neither sounds very good - but fortunately that's just a legacy of socialism. Still, the justly famous film Sinbad is a meticulous portrayal of the finest Hungarian cuisine and the emotional world of its consumers. Why do we call Újházi Tyúkhúslevest a love potion? Why we eat marrow and why we roast pig's blood? We tell you everything!
6. Preparing the menu and others
While we cook together, you will have the opportunity to taste some special wines from famous Hungarian wine regions, accompanied by cheeses, honeys and delicious meat products. While you're there, feel free to ask us anything - we'll be happy to answer, and it usually turns into a very friendly, informal conversation, even if you come from a completely different culture. The good mood is kept up by Hungarian music playing in the background. You can eat the food you have prepared together in the bistro space.
