About Natalina’s Kitchen

They are currently selling bulk flour, yeast, and olive oil. Prices are fair and buying is straightforward. Hoping they'll continue selling such products in the future too.

We had a great and informative night with Natalina. She helped us create an amazing menu of gluten free greats. Can't wait to join her for another class.

Natalina has a wealth of knowledge in Italian cuisine. Her wood fired pizza two ways "upped my game". Class was well organized and fun! Thank you!

We had an absolutely lovely day with Natalina and the rest of the class. Simple recipes and delicious, authentic Italian home cooking. It was such a perfect way to spend our anniversary!

The experience is one I will never forget. The food and wine, the destinations, the cooking classes were second to none and I would highly recommend this excursion to all of my friends. There were a couple of glitches during the trip but Natalina found a solution and dealt with them which of course a professional would do. If you are looking to see a really beautiful part of Italy and you enjoy food and wine this is a opportunity you should not miss. read less

My boyfriend and I attended Natalina's 'Taste of Calabria' class this past weekend. We enjoyed how Natalina tended to all levels of cook. I consider myself an intermediate cook while my boyfriend is a little more inexperienced in the kitchen, and we both had an amazing time! The classes are perfectly sized - enough people to make for a diverse and interesting group to talk to, but not too packed. Natalina also shared her knowledge about all the ingredients we were using. We know how to look for authentic olive oil and balsamic vinegar now thanks to her! Thank you 🙂 read less

She took the time to talk about why we should be doing more home cooking and making it a fun time.

I am looking forward to spending time in the kitchen with my family as we make our own fresh food. read less

You have your ingredients list to prep for and the videos with excellent tips to follow along to, print out the recipe and follow along. You can watch the video over and over to help you gain the confidence to create some wonderful meals. Such a great compliment to the cookbook. I have mastered the gnocchi's, a family favourite, the pizza and next will be pasta. To be able to duplicate family favourites in my own home with Natalina's Kitchen help is amazing. Can't recommend the online classes enough. This was a gift to me from my son, and its one of the best gifts I've received. My two sons were so pleased that they've asked to make them with me next time. I can't thank you enough for creating this wonderful opportunity to learn at home. read less

The online classes are easy to follow, and provide lots of detail and helpful tips! I like being able to complete courses at my own pace and go back to review recipes when I need to. Would highly recommend!

Attended taste of Puglia with hubby and pals. Fun group. Hands on. Good conversation. Great way to learn and experience food of a region of Bella italia 👍

Read MoreTaking the "Taste of Calabria" tour with host Natalina and guide Silvia proved to be one of my best travel decisions. With 13 other guests, we explored this part of southern Italy together, and by the end of the trip I felt I had gained 13 new friends. As a single traveller, the supplemental cost was remarkably reasonable, and yet I still enjoyed the exceptional quality of accommodation and service as those travelling together. We spent 3 nights at 3 different hotels (Tropea, Reggio Calabria, and Crotone), all of which were clean, extremely comfortable, and well located. No packing and unpacking everyday for us!

Our host Natalina planned an exciting and full agenda, always taking into consideration the wishes and needs of her guests. She speaks Italian fluently and has visited the area many times, so was able to share with us her knowledge and love of the food, the wines, the people and the culture. Our local guide Silvia was also a gem! She is extremely well versed in regional history, geography, etc but also provided us with insight into today's Calabria and its people. I have fond memories of her leading us through exercises on the beach in Cortone.....such a good experience! No questions asked of her went unanswered....in a very thoughtful manner. Both ladies were lots of fun and both made a point of engaging with each and every one of us throughout our busy days. Luciano, our humorous and very skilled bus driver, travelled with us everywhere, adding to our wonderful experience.

The focus of the trip was fine food, and there was lots of this! We tasted regional delicacies like nduja, pecorino and caciocavallo cheeses, olive oils, stock fish, ( not my favourite), many cured meats, and many other anti pasta delights, just to name a few. We visited family owned and operated farms, olive groves, and vineyards, and were overwhelmed by the hospitality and pride of the owners. We were shown how to make soap from olive oil, how to prepare bread and cook it in a wood burning stove, and how to make lasagna that included hard boiled eggs...believe it or not. Delicious! We even collected chestnuts one day!

But not every activity related to food. We drove through lovely countryside which included highlands and beaches. We visited art and architecture museums. One of my most memorable stops was Scilla, a beautiful cliff side town. We ate lunch in a restaurant perched over the sea, and then climbed up to the top of the cliff to visit the remains of an ancient fortress. The view was spectacular!

I would highly recommend this tour and look forward to travelling with Natalina and Silvia again. read less

What a great trip to Calabria that far exceeded our already very high expectations. We were treated to an expertly planned introduction to the history, beauty and culinary delights of this lesser travelled region of Italy under the guidance of our hostess, Natalina, and very knowledgeable and fun loving local guide, Silvia.

Thanks to the small group size of fourteen, we soon bonded with our fellow like minded travellers on our daily excursions Visits to local farms, vineyards and food producers, many of which were small scale but high in quality and flavour plus many opportunities to experience cooking demonstrations and some hands on preparation mixed so well with visits to hill towns, castles and museums. The trip was well organized and active, hotel accomodations first class and our food experiences beyond words. Local ingredients of every kind along with local wines were emphasized at all of the fabulous meals we enjoyed family style at the selected restaurants, some of which were owned by relatives of Natalina where we were served meals that were above and beyond incredible.

We were looking for an experience and we got it in spades so we are anxiously looking forward to our next trip with Natalina. read less

My husband and I went on a culinary tour through the Calabria region of Italy with Natalina! We ate delicious foods (and helped cook them), enjoyed award winning wines (and visited the wineries that made them), saw mozzarella cheese being made (and helped make it), and visited award winning olive oil producing groves (and saw the process from start to finish)!
We ate, drank, danced, laughed, and climbed our way through Calabria to the highest villages (San Giorgio). We met amazing people along the way in our group (our new Canadian friends) and also the good people of the region, that we will never forget!
We would like to thank Natalina Catalina Bombino, the trip planner and Sylvia, our guide. It was because of their careful planning, paying attention to every detail, and great knowledge of the area that made this the great trip it was! And they also made it fun! And I can’t end this without a word about our dear funny Luchiano, our driver! What a great guy! He looked out for us as he took us off the beaten path! Luchiano told us that people cry three times when they visit Calabria, first when they get there and see the beauty, second when they have to leave, and third when they get home and get on their scale! And he was right! read less
