About Masha

I create immersive Italian culinary experiences rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and the quiet magic of shared time around food.

My work is grounded in Italian cuisine and enriched with professional knowledge gained through formal training at ALMA – The International School of Italian Cuisine. I teach not only techniques and professional secrets, but also how to truly understand ingredients — their origins, seasonality, and the stories of small, independent producers who keep Italian gastronomic culture alive.

Many of my in-person workshops take place in my historic stone house with a wood-fired oven, where cooking becomes a slow, sensory ritual — guided by fire, patience, and attention. I also offer online and in-person masterclasses, as well as gastronomic journeys across Italy, far beyond my home region of Montefeltro.

Experiences can be private or in small groups (up to 8–10 participants), allowing space for depth, conversation, and genuine human connection. Food here is not only nourishment, but a language — one that brings people together, restores presence, and creates lasting memory.
