Our Philosophy

We Believe that food has a unique power to unite people, enable deep conversations and connect us to our roots. Our mission is to dig deeper into cultural cuisines and help people share the warmth of hospitality and eating together at home, make friends and discover culinary treasures like a community. We are a platform for foodies offering authentic Dining experiences in people’s homes and exclusive locations, cooking workshops, food experiences and food walks.

Headquartered in the Netherlands, our most active host network in Amsterdam has more than 100 culinary experiences. During COVID-19, our community expanded to various parts of the world with people hopping on to our Zoom Cooking Classes. We are now more than 250 events rich with a culinary diversity of over 25 countries and more than 30 hosts and teachers. Our events are as much about the conversations and experience as the food that is shared.

The dutch wordGezellig is how our guests describe Tasty Talks. Most of the times, our guests have left feeling rich with the culinary experience and special by the hospitality and friendly atmosphere. Join our online cook along sessions to connect with cooks and foodies across Continents!

The food was great (the best indian food that I’ve ever tasted) in a warm and cosy environment. She and her partner were lovely hosts. They opened their doors to us like we were their friends. Nice experience. 

- Viktoria

Great initiative to simultaneously enjoy home cooked meals & meet new people! A must try.

- Samita 

“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!” 

- Sandra Faur

The experience and the food was absolutely incredible! Love the concept and had such a great meal with some quality company.

I attended a Tasty Talks Momo making workshop today (dumplings from Bhutan) and it was the highlight of my weekend. 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!
