Hello,

So i need to solve one doubt, is this exact match domain?

tuscany-cooking-class.com

Thanks

Alex

_Yes this is and the worst part, it has got three hyphens in the URLs. _

_First of all, let me tell you that EMD is not a penalty. The purpose of this update is to take out the value some sites were just because they have got some targeted key phrases in their domain name. So, you do not need to send any reconsideration request to Google for that. All you have to do is to keep adding value to your website and get some back links to your website naturally and you will just fine. _

Hello Alex,

The reason you may have been hit by the EMD update so hard is because the content on your site doesn't seem to be unique:

http://www.copyscape.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuscany-cooking-class.com%2F

Did you write all of this yourself?  I'd suggest doing a review of your full review of your content and submit a reconsideration request.

Thanks!
