An Authentic Danubian Fisherman Cooking Class in Budapest - 8898071cfc07c42994badef60460e4d7

The traditional fisherman's soup in Hungary holds a traditional secret that can only be found at a local's kitchen. I know how to create this authentic local dish and I want to show you the unique method to create this delicious soup on a private cooking class!

To stick to the original recipe is essential to have an open-air fire, high-quality fishes, and Hungarian red pepper. Luckily, I'll provide all of these items & ingredients, all you gotta do is follow my lead.

This soup is equally tasty and easy to make, you will love it! And when the soup is ready, let's enjoy it together with other local tastings like some appetizers & dessert. But if you have any dietary requests, I can easily adapt the cooking class. Let me know if there are other traditional dishes you would like to learn!

We spent a very special and unique evening with Daniel and his family. We cooked the Hungarian fish soup on open fire. It was so delicious. Daniel and his family were so hospitable and we enjoyed it to be guests in their house for some hours. We can fully recommend this experience of cooking. It made our visit of Budapest perfect!An unique evening in Budapest

We had a wonderful time with Daniel and his family. It was great to learn how to make traditional fisherman's stew, and to get to participate in the process. The stew itself was fantastic. We also enjoyed a number of pastry creations his wife prepared. And throughout our time there we had numerous opportunities to down shots of homemade pálinka. :-) All in all, a great time was had by everyone. Thank you again!Lots of fun for the whole family

Daniel is a superb host and a 'strict' master (it is called a soup cooking class after all!) - creating a great atmosphere and helping to get acquainted with the feeling of a proper Hungarian garden party. The fish soup takes some effort and time to prepare but it's absolutely worth it! Great time spent there, great food and the experience is just something else. Home cooked fisherman's soup is a must-try. Note: easy with the pálinka, it's tough stuff.An Authentic Danubian Fisherman's Soup Cooking Class

I didn’t exactly know what I could expect but the host did an excellent job in introducing me to Hungarian cusine through the fish soup. The local setting gave a very real touch to the experience. I am not a great cook but this is a simple dish so I really enjoyed participating in making it. I also loved the pie. It was great fun!An Authentic Danubian Fisherman's Soup Cooking Class

I had a great time at the fih soup cooking course. I met a friendly family. I learnt the difference between the Baja and Szeged versions of Hungarian Fish soup. I was taught how to make „match-style” noodles served in the soup. Above all, I got to taste a delicious fish soup, along with other wonders of Hungary, for example the the Palinka , the wine. The desert was Hungarian style apple pie prepared by the host’s wife. I really recommend this truely Hungarian program!An Authentic Danubian Fisherman's Soup Cooking Class

More about me

Living close by the Danube has given me the chance to often go fishing and to learn much about the local fishes. Preparing various traditional fish dishes has become my passion and I continue experimenting.
