- We had the most amazing experience with Matilde! For our cooking course, Matilde selected a wonderful menu with both seafood and meat flavors. We started with learning about Italian food and culture, then moved onto cooking techniques, which we practiced with making tiramisu from scratch. My kids loved the hands on experience and Matilde was so patient with them. (And funny too!) She’s accomplished at tiramisu and it shows. We got to lick the mixing bowl clean and the fabulously smooth and delicateness of the creme made us exited for more! The pasta-making was absolutely fun for us as we got to make a multitude of shapes and sizes, including using real Italian tools from her nonna. To our surprise she had wine and appetizers for us ready to go. She shared her favorites and funnest music too. In the end we enjoyed the delicious tiramisu we made together. We loved it all! Matilde was a superb host, super friendly lady, fantastic teacher, and new family friend.
- We had such a great time with Matilde. We learned to make tiramisu and two different pastas as we talked about music and movies. Matilde is knowledgeable and competent in teaching cooking classes as well as fun and welcoming. We had a fantastic night.
- Matilde was wonderful! It was lovely to be welcomed into her home. We happened to share class with one other family which was perfect. Matilde was so gracious with our daughter and it was great fun watching her learn! She’s already put her new skills to work at home!
- Lovely time with Matilda. It was engaging, informative and most importantly TASTY. Highly recommend for an immersive Italian experience.
- We had an amazing experience with Matilde in her home. The food was absolutely delicious and Matilde was so fun to hang out with. We only wish we would have brought the recipe home with us (Matilde please email me!)
