The experience
A hands-on hour making kürtőskalács, Hungary’s traditional chimney cake, from rolling the dough to your choice of topping.
Kürtőskalács is a spit cake, its dough rolled and wrapped by hand around a wooden spindle before being grilled over open coals until the surface caramelises. This workshop walks through the whole process, finishing with a choice of topping — cinnamon sugar, vanilla, cocoa or walnut.
The session includes coffee or tea alongside the finished cake, and a certificate of completion at the end — a compact, sociable hour rather than a full cooking class.
