“My husband and I had a great time at the Empanadas and Wine event. Fabiola is a kind host with a lot of talent. Everything she served was amazing. We started with salad then pumpkin soup, and finally the vegan empanadas. Although we do eat meat, we really enjoyed the vegan version too. Fun fact, Fabiola is also happy to make meat empanadas if you request. Lastly, we finished with an amazing dulce de leche crepe. It was so good, Fabiola was kind enough to give us seconds. The night went by quickly, in good company, with good wine. I’d do it again to try the meat versions too . Thank you Tasty Talks NL!”

“I have attended one of the workshops for making Gyoza dumplings.

A great experience, in a very friendly environment. The host led us feel that making Gyoza could become an easy task despite its complexity. We prepared the filling, made the dough, rolled it out, filled it in, and closed them. After cooking them, we could enjoy some very tasty dumplings over very tasty talks loved it! highly recommended!”

“We had a wonderful evening with Meity and Bore. Meity teached is how to make gyoza from scratch and afterwards we had a delicious meal with edemame, selfmade gyoza and trufle .They made us feel very welcome. And nothing beats making food together and sharing it with laughter and good conversations. Highly recommended”

“Now this is the kind of cooking workshop I’m talking about! I got my hands dirty, learned how to make traditional Indonesian food that I fell in love with back home, and it was just such a treat for me! Meity’s patience and kindness in teaching, and the aroma’s from the spices transported me back home, and I had A LOT of fun. Would definitely do Tasty Talks again from this experience!”

“I went to the Indian cooking workshop and had a blast! What a unique experience! We had the opportunity to see how an original Indian meal is prepared, learned how to do it ourselves and even got the chance to meet new people all at once! Manasi isn’t only a wonderful host but also a great teacher! Oh! Of course, we ate the best Indian food I’ve ever tried. It felt like being in India without leaving the Netherlands.”

“The workshop (Gyozas) was fantastic and both, my son Javier and I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you. Of course, the rest of the participants were amazing and that helped. I also liked that time was not limited and that all things were explained from 0, without shortcuts and also a few good tricks. Great!”

We had great hosts (also the workshop chefs and teachers), a great crowd of folks from all around the world and overall solid organization of the event. We had a few good laughs, some interestingly shaped momos, and a wonderful meal at the end of it all. Would highly recommend the experience without hesitation!”
