Cooking Class
A Hands-On Journey into the Heart of Pugliese Pasta
Join us for an intimate, hands-on pasta-making class in the heart of London. Learn the time-honoured art of Pugliese pasta — no eggs, no machines, just semolina flour, water, and your hands. I’ll guide you through every step, from mixing and kneading the dough to shaping beautiful orecchiette and cavatelli, just as generations of Southern Italian families have done before us.
There is something deeply satisfying about making pasta from scratch. In this workshop you'll discover why Pugliese pasta — made with only semolina and water — has a texture and soul that no shop-bought substitute can match.
Set in the warm and welcoming surroundings of a charming private kitchen in the heart of Hampstead, this class is designed to be enjoyable for complete beginners and confident cooks alike. You'll leave with a new skill, a well-fed soul, and a recipe to recreate the magic at home.
