Our family of four with a 10 and 6-year-old had a great experience with George. He walked us through the market, sharing local insights and history. The market experience definitely made this feel authentic, like a local purchasing fresh ingredients. He clearly has a passion for food, cooking and Hungarian culture which he shared with us. We enjoyed his cooking tutorials- even our 6 y/o picked up some chopping skills under supervision. He fully engages everyone to be part of the cooking and we made an excellent chicken paprikash whole enjoying local wine. His cooking space (new this summer) is excellent as well. Overall, this felt like a genuine local experience and would highly recommend.
We had the best Foodapest cooking experience with George!! We are a family of 5 and the children are 17, 12 and 8, and George did brilliantly to include them all in everything that we did. A lovely stroll around the market, and then such fun cooking delicious food. It was so good that our middle son was desperate to cook it all again as soon as we got home! George was great to share the recipes with us and we had a lot of fun. Thanks again George!
Our afternoon with George was incredible. We had so much and the overall experience was amazing. We got to see the market and learn a bit of its history then cook a wonderful meal together and see a true apartment in Budapest. This was one of the main highlights to our trip and we would recommend to anyone visiting. Truly a great way to learn about Hungarian culture and food. Thank you again for such an amazing time and experience. Feel like we’ve made a new friend.
Daniel is a great host and his family is super nice. It felt comfortable and fun right from the start. The fish soup was very good. I'm glad we tried this experience.
