    Shari

  • "This class was excellent! Not only did we learn how to make gf pasta, but Catalin had many suggestions for travel/apps/recipes. Very laid-back and fun approach, it felt like we were cooking with her in her Italian kitchen. Would definitely recommend this class!!"

    Laura

  • "My daughter and I took this class together and LOVED it!!! Catalin was so fun and personable, it felt like we’ve known her forever. Catalin helped us scale up the recipe as we were intending to batch cook a bunch to freeze. The pasta turned out Perfectly! I’m angry I’ve suffered through bad store bought gluten free pasta for so many years. I can’t wait to take more of Catalin’s classes. So happy to have a new (and super knowledgeable) friend on the other side of the globe!"

    Kristin

  • “Catalin does a great job teaching you how to make GF pasta as well as other things. This class not only is an empowering experience with regards to being able to make homemade gluten-free pasta, but you also get to ask questions and learn from Catalin about other things along the way. Thanks again, Catalin, for a wonderful experience and the knowledge you shared!"

    Chelsea

  • "The pasta cooking class was so fun! Catalin is so nice and it was just like hangout and cooking with a friend. The recipe was easy and tasty. It was fun talking about Italy, traveling, and gluten free living."

    Kimberly

  • "I took this GF pasta making class for Celiac Awareness Month. It was so fun and much easier than I expected it to be. Now I feel confident to make my own authentic Italian GF pasta at home for my friends and family. Catalin was so nice and did a great job explaining each step. I enjoyed chatting with her and learning more about her life in Italy. I took this class with a group of people all from the comfort of our own homes and kitchens. You don't need many supplies and it is easy to replicate later. Plus Catalin sends you the recipe and everything so you can use it again."

    Kierstin

  • "Catalin- we just got back from Italy and had the most fantastic trip!! I ate safely all over and particularly loved the GF options and food in Florence - I can see why you decided to settle there. We truly loved all of the meals we had and I could not thank you enough for your help with reservations and recommendations! Again - thanks so much for your help, guidance and reassurance."
