As part of Extremely Hungary, the yearlong festival showcasing contemporary Hungarian culture, we are pleased to present an evening with András Hernádi, Executive Chef of the Hungarian Consulate General in New York City. We know of no better individual to introduce you to the distinctive flavors of Hungary than this accomplished chef who has cooked for lords, ladies, and heads of state in the US, UK, and top restaurants of Budapest.

Discover the diversity and richness of Hungarian cuisine, a tradition that grew out of the native abundance of fresh produce, game, and fish and influences from Ottoman, Austrian, German, and Slavic cultures. With help from Chef András, you'll prepare (then sit down to enjoy) a decadent three-course meal that includes delicate poached fish and nokedli dumplings, duck with plum-chutney filled pancakes, and a classic dessert of light and fluffy Tokaj wine clouds. There's much more to Hungarian cooking than goulash, and this class will give you an authentic taste of the vivid colors and flavors of the Hungarian kitchen.
