We LOVED our strudel class! Marti was a great host and teacher. We really enjoyed learning how to make the strudel and the history behind it. It didn’t hurt that the strudel was delicious too. We highly recommend this class!

Excellent teacher, very organized . Expected participation by everyone in the group when explaining and demonstrating strudel making technique . Had lots of practice stretching the dough. Very friendly and class was held in a beautiful home and kitchen. Lovely snacks and we got to take home left over strudel!! A fun way to spend a morning.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the hands-on strudel making experience and had plenty of practice stretching the dough — that’s truly the heart of traditional Hungarian strudel. I always aim to involve everyone during the class, so it’s great to know you appreciated the interactive approach. I’m also glad you felt comfortable in my home kitchen and enjoyed the Hungarian bites. Thank you for choosing my Budapest strudel making class. It was a pleasure baking together, and I hope to welcome you back for another Hungarian cooking experience in the future.

Marti was fantastic! Highly recommend.

This was such a lovely experience and Marti was wonderful. We made two kinds of strudel and had an informative and hands-on experience that made my friend and me want to try this at home. Plus, the wine, snacks, and ability to eat what we created made for a memorable evening.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the hand-stretched Hungarian strudel making class and that the hands-on experience inspired you to try baking strudel at home as well. It was a pleasure having you both in my Budapest cooking studio. I’m glad the two varieties of strudel, along with the wine and snacks, made the experience memorable for you. Sharing Hungarian culinary traditions with guests is always a joy, and I’m delighted you loved tasting the strudels you created. Thank you again for joining my Hungarian hand-stretched strudel baking class.

We had a fantastic evening from the beginning. The communication from start to finish was great, we were given a few different options and ask what our preferences were, then received very detailed directions that made walked to the studio very easy. When we arrived and began to cook it was very personable and hands on! We look forward to trying the recipes at home.

Baking up memories

Thank you for much for your kind words. I am happy that you really enjoyed learning how to make the stretched Strudel.

Great evening!

Mary_K, Dec 2023

What an enjoyable, fun experience and evening we had! Marti was such a generous, interesting, informative and fun host! It was a highlight on our trip in Budapest!

An amazing intimate experience

Monica_J, Dec 2023

We ended up having the cooking class to ourselves and it was so intimate and welcoming. The chef had us in her home and made snacks and juice for us. I have a lot of allergies and was determined to not explore the different Strudel options. I'm glad we were convinced to do a savory and a sweet Strudel. It was soooo much food! The whole process felt very rewarding. I'd definitely recommend for anyone who wants to try something new and unique.

great hands on class

Tara_W, Dec 2023

The strudel class was excellent. Everyone was involved. The teacher was engaging. Prior to arriving she let us choose two types of strudel from 4 options to make. She provided very clear and instructions on where to go and had a great kitchen set up for the class. The strudel we made was delicious along with the drinks and snacks she provided as well. I would take any cooking class with her again.

Fun, informative and meaningful if like me you have a Hungarian grandma who used to make strudel.

MistiR_G, Nov 2023

I loved every moment! Marti’s warmth, expertise, hospitality and willingness to answer our many questions made this experience special. I cannot recommend highly enough!! Also, everything was delicious and her kitchen beautiful!

A cooking class like no other

Jessica_R, Nov 2023

I was surprised by how much the dough could stretch! I loved the chef’s attention to detail and how she walked us through each step and why. The class was focused yet relaxed. The snacks and strudel were to die for! I appreciate all the tips for local cuisine!

Hungarian struedel rocks!

John_C, Dec 2022

Who knew learning how to bake could be so much fun? Marti made us feel right at home as we learned the art of making Hungarian struedel and learned a little about Hungarian culture. What an awesome experience!

Very interactive,...

Benjamin_W, Dec 2022

Very interactive, informative, and fun! We arrived about 10 minutes late because Uber doesn’t exist in Budapest but our host was still very accepting! The location was easy to find and get to. The atmosphere was welcoming and light-hearted. We were very happy with the experience.

Jillian_M, Nov 2021

Marti’s class was excellent! I signed up for her strudel class with my mother on our last day in Budapest and it was wonderful. Marti is very welcoming in her lovely home and she is an excellent instructor. She was a gracious host and provided us insight to Hungarian cuisine. We had such a good time with her!

Amazing experience

Lauren_S, Sep 2021

We had a wonderful experience. Marti welcomed us into her gorgeous kitchen and taught us how to make strudel the way her mother makes it. She had wine and drinks as well as some food to snack on as we waited for the strudel to bake. What we really loved was just talking to her about the culture and how she grew up. Her stories were so interesting and we just kept asking to hear more. We would definitely recommend this excursion. Thanks Marti!!!

Great experience!

iova0612, Feb 2020

We had a blast making delicious strudels! Marta was so sweet and very knowledgeable and her kitchen was beautiful. She even sliced up some veggies and bread and spreads for us to snack on while we waited for the strudels to bake. And the wine, palinka, and homemade sodas were awesome too.
