"We had the most wonderful evening with Paola! My girlfriends and I did the ‘Spritz like an Italian’ evening and we enjoyed every minute of it….the cocktails were absolutely delicious and the food was wonderful too! Paola is an incredible host, knowledgeable and generous with the information and tips she shares but she’s also a huge amount of fun and very engaging! We all enjoyed it and would all definitely recommend!"

Ciao!

I'm Paola Maggiulli

I’m Paola (The Tiny Italian). I’m a cookery teacher and Italian food lover and I’m here to change the way you feel about cooking. 

I help people transform their relationship with cooking, kickstart their cooking mojo and build their cooking confidence so that they easily create the food they really want to eat to make them feel good.

Getting excited about cooking by themselves feels like a mountain to climb. They have the intention, but not the motivation and so keep putting it off and instead keep opting for the same repetitive meals or spending more money than they’d like on eating out or ordering in.

It’s about helping people fundamentally change the way they feel about cooking so they no longer feel dread but instead look forward to spending time in the kitchen cooking. They finally start to understand that cooking is an easy fun delicious form of self-care for both your body and mind.

We all want to take better care of ourselves, and cooking is such an easy and simple way to do that. When we’re well fed, when we’re eating food that makes us moan with pleasure – you’ll know from experience how much that can brighten your entire day!

With a belly full of the good stuff, you can take on the world!

Plus Italian cooking is a great place to start. It’s not very intimidating, and the focus is on flavour rather than technique. EASY, SEXY, HEALTHY, DELICIOUS recipes that can be created by anyone.

It’s all about helping others BELIEVE IN THEIR OWN SAUCE!

If you’re looking to make some time for some fun delicious cooking, make time for you and some self care. My online self care cooking community is all about taking out the stress and overwhelm that you may feel in the kitchen and transform your cooking relationship so that you find the fun, empowering and rewarding side to it.
Peoples poor relationships with food is sometimes caused by their resentment of having to cook dinner all the time or maybe they are someone who has always believed they can’t cook.
The two unfortunately go hand in hand. And if you want to eat better, you really have to rely on yourself to make that stick. No diet plan or meal plan is going to change how you feel about cooking fundamentally and we need that to change so that we can embrace home cooking for the self care it really can be in our lives.
I create this membership specifically for this reason. To be a helping hand, to motivate you, be your cheerleader and remind you that you are worth it. You deserve to nourish yourself with meals that will make you happy, give you pleasure and full of goodness. 
As well as monthly cook alongs you have an unlimited access to a recipe library which is updated weekly with gorgeous self care meal ideas so that you never have to wonder what to cook for dinner.
For more info head to the link in my bio.
Oh P.S. prices are going up from Feb onwards so if you want it to have your monthly membership at £35 join this week.

SAVE FOR LATER - A lighter white sauce. 
Self care cooking can come in different guises and if your body and mind are telling you that you may need to inject a little health in your life, then I always recommend listening to it as that’s the only way we can start taking the steps needed to bring a little love and self care into your lives.
And when we change our mindset about what cooking can bring to our lives that’s where we start to transform your relationship with it.
Health, and comfort are two of pillars when it comes to my self care cooking. I have learnt that eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself of comfort so these always go hand in hand in my meals.
I have found this tip useful when I’m looking for that creamy comfort we get in lasagnas, pasta or veggies bakes. The stock replaces the milk making a lighter healthier version.
For more self care inspo, recipes and tips sign up to my free newsletter. Link in bio.

Listen up my bambinos! Buy your self care cooking essentials @eatalylondon and get some of the best Italian brands and ingredients in their amazing 50% sale they have on at the moment.
Italian cooking is the best cuisine if you’re looking for nourishment, pleasurable flavours and LOVE. It’s the best type of food for self care and when you use great quality ingredients, which is an essential pillar for delicious Italian cooking. You just can not go wrong.
That’s why @eatalylondon is always my first stop when stocking up on the best Italian ingredients. 
So I wouldn’t hesitate as you only have until the 5th February to stock yourself with produce and ingredients to help you cook some of your fave Italian dishes, or experience authentic Italian flavours or more importantly, provide you with the self care cooking you may need.
I may even see you there as I will be heading back again soon. Who’s going? 🙋🏻‍♀️

COOKING IS THE ULTIMATE LOVE LANGUAGE. 
If you have followed me for a while you may have heard me share how cooking is my favourite love language. 
Just as I love to cook for myself meals that make me feel good, I adore cooking for others to show appreciation for those around me. PLUS if you ever cook for me, you will know how much I cherish those moments. I’ve actually added it as a non negotiable on my  dating profile 😅. 
So when people tell me that they don’t have time to cook or resent the idea, it saddens me that they don’t have time to express love in this delicious form. 
Because everyone deserves to cook and eat food that makes them feel good.
Is cooking your love language?
