¡Hola! I'm Natalia Martinez, a 29-year-old 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.

We had an absolute blast during this class! Natalia created a wonderfully fun and warm environment from the minute we arrived. She put so much care into the session and it was clear that she has a strong love and passion for sharing her culture and food.
I would definitely recommend this session to anyone who enjoys learning about Spanish cuisine, exhanging travel stories while sipping sangria, and celebrating each other's successful Spanish tortilla flips!

We had such a fun class with Natalia. She has lovely presence and explains culture and food so well and it was much less daunting learning how to make the famous Spanish tortilla under her guidance. It was a relaxed and fun day and would definitely recommend to anyone with an interest in learning about Spanish food culture.

We booked this experience as a company Team Building event. Natalia and Miguel were EXCEPTIONAL Great energy, organised, thoughtful and FUN
The class was held in Natalia and Miguel's apartment in Carlton - it felt very homely and was spacious enough to host 7 of us. Our hosts very thoughtfully put together some games to play and a competitive slant on the class, with some pronunciation tests, a quiz and to rate be the best food! This was received very well and prizes were a great touch! We learnt so much about Spanish culture and food and the sangria was plentiful and delicious! This was excellent value for money - a priceless experience that the whole team just loved! We just loved the hosts, Natalia and Miguel so much! What an awesome couple, so passionate and lovely SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE

We celebrated my partner's 30th birthday with a special private cooking class at our friends home, and it was an unforgettable experience. Natalia and Miguel, our amazing teachers, made the occasion truly memorable with their easy-going nature, excellent communication skills, and impeccable organization. They provided everything we needed, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable process from start to finish. Together, we learned the art of making delicious Sangria, tapas, and Tortillas españolas, adding a delightful culinary touch to the celebration. It was an experience we will cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you, Natalia!
