Ciao I’m Tatiana

I was born in a beautiful Italian region called Trentino-Alto Adige, on the border with Austria, where Italian and German cultures blend harmoniously, influencing people and food in a uniquely delicious way. Growing up in a family where cooking was sacred, I spent my childhood in my grandmother’s and mother’s kitchens, surrounded by the scents of freshly baked bread and homemade pasta. My love for cooking knows no boundaries, embracing flavors from every corner of the world.

My culinary adventures have taken me across Europe and beyond, even to San Diego, California, where I lived and discovered a completely new culinary universe. This experience opened my eyes to a multitude of cultures and unique flavors, enriching my passion for extraordinary ingredients and creative combinations.

I love traveling, savoring new dishes, tasting fine wines, and exploring intriguing culinary traditions. My philosophy is simple: taste everything the world has to offer! I believe wholeheartedly that expanding our culinary experiences enriches our lives and creates a magical bridge to understanding and connecting with different cultures.

Our afternoon class with Tatiana was perfect. We met in her adorable apartment. Tatiana selected two sweet recipes, one very traditional for “brutti ma buoni” and the other for a tiramisu, but in this case the recipe was just a bit different from “traditional.” It was made with biscotti cantucci. Both turned out perfectly. Tatiana knows cooking and is an experienced teacher. I highly recommend this for any traveler who enjoys “the real Italy.

Our lesson with Tatiana was the highlight of our trip! To say that she is nice is an understatement. She welcomed us into her apartment and we felt at home right away. Tatiana is very knowledgeable about cooking of all sorts and she is an incredible instructor. I have been fortunate to have had her as an Italian teacher and her personality and joy for life show up with gusto in her kitchen. We had so much fun making two sweet desserts and were sent home with the extras. My best advice is if you want a true authentic cooking class from an Italian teacher, Tatiana is your #1 choice. I’m telling you…you will have the best time ever!

Tatiana is a warm, charismatic person who made us feel incredibly welcome in her home. She is highly knowledgeable about food and cooking, and her teaching style is fantastic.
Her sense of humor added so much fun to the afternoon. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled that Tatiana showed us how to prepare a delicious, plant-based dish.
