Great time with Chef Agnes learning how to cook traditional Hungarian goulash and apple strudel. Great anniversary present for us. Give it a try, you’ll enjoy the time and have some great recipes to keep afterwards!

We booked this as a gift for family's Hungarian heritage and really enjoyed our time with Chef Agnes! The company made us feel very prepared with excellent communication to help us get comfortable with this new experience! The food was delicious, great Goulash and Walnut Strudel! Chef Aggie was very easy to work with, easy to see and hear, and she shared a lot of cultural knowledge about Hungary and its food.

My wife and I just completed a Hungarian cooking class and LOVED it! From the point of purchase to the final taste test of the dish we made with Chef Aggie, the experience was top notch. The Kitchen Assistant was so nice and accessible, and ensured that we were ready in advance of the actual cooking session. She helped us located hard-to-find spices in our hometown and checked in before and after. I can't recommend this enough - we hope to take another class down the road!

Sarah Madey

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband who is an avid cook! He chose Chef Agnes from Hungary! We had a wonderful experience. Agnes is warm individual and great teacher. Throughout our session she shared stories and history. It was truly much more than a cooking lesson! We shared our creations with friends with a Zoom Dinner Party later that night!!!
