We were skeptical about whether some expertise would be required as a starter to be able to catch up with pasta making as a porcess, but the class was so easy for an absolute beginner to follow, as well as for more experienced folks to sharpen technicalities. Great community experience with cooking, sharing and having your own pasta with a bunch of other stuff like limoncello, traditional dessert, different wine samples.”

We were lucky to be the only ones on this course, so we were able to discover how to make them, the recipe and the chef gave us the portions. We then ate our pasta with sauce of our choice made by the chef in front of us, and it was excellent 😊 plus a delicious tiramisu for dessert, and a glass of Prosecco 🥂 it was a very good experience, I recommend it.”
