  • 5/5 from Majlinda Lulo, attended Jun 2026: Great class - highly recommend. Well organised and lots of fun.
  • 5/5 from Brooke Nuttall, attended Jun 2026: Wonderful experience with amazing food. Nat was so helpful from start to finish and ran a very relaxed and fun class
  • 5/5 from Barbara, attended Jan 2026: Nat and her team are a very welcoming and engaging group of cooks. They guided us through a fun and informative afternoon on Spanish cuisine, identifying the nuanced differences in how dishes are prepared in the various regions of Spain. The menu included chicken paella, tortilla de patatas, sangria, and gambas al ajillo. On arrival, delicious antipasto plates and fresh bread were ready for serving and at the end of our meal, our group was treated to a slice of in-house Basque cheesecake and torrone. Nat’s elegant loft apartment/workshop space is an adventure itself. I highly recommend this cooking session to anyone wanting to learn or hone their skills on Spanish cuisine!
  • 5/5 from Robert Poposki, attended Jan 2026: Fun class with great instructors. Got to eat some delish food. Easy parking on a Sunday. Couldn't ask for more, really.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2025: I bought this as a gift for my parents. I'm giving 5 stars because they said they enjoyed it and that the host was friendly. Just note that it’s more of a demonstration with a bit of audience participation, rather than a full cooking class where everyone makes their own dish. I wish that had been clearer in the description, as I might’ve chosen differently.
  • 5/5 from Maria Danastri, attended Aug 2025: From the moment we stepped in to the room, it was like entering your friend’s house. Nat welcomed us warmly and showed us around the beautiful apace. It was such a different cooking class environment compared to the others, as it doesn’t feel like one!. Instead, it feels like cooking with new friends and family for the day. Everyone felt so alive and enjoying ourselves with lots of amazing drinks and tapas while cooking the paella. Overall, it was an amazing experience

¡Hola! I'm Nat, native of Madrid, Spain, with roots deeply connected to the traditional region of La Alcarria. My love for cooking blossomed during my childhood, spending countless hours with my grandma in her kitchen, soaking in the rich recipes that we cherished together.
Tortilla de Patata, or Potato Omelette, holds a special place in my heart, especially recalling the mesmerizing moments watching my mom skillfully flip the pan, turning it into a work of art. Despite my academic pursuit in business management, my true passion lies in the culinary arts. Over the years, I've taken numerous cooking courses to hone my skills and share the flavors of my heritage.
Beyond the kitchen, I am characterized by my empathy, talkativeness, friendliness, and a profound passion for connecting with people and exploring diverse cultures. Having visited 37 countries, I find joy in meeting new faces, indulging in global cuisines, and embracing varied traditions.
