We had a fantastic time making (& eating pasta)! Thank you for a wonderful experience for the whole family!
Fantastic cooking class, I can’t recommend it enough! Sarah made everyone feel welcome from the very first moment we walked in until the end of the course. Every workstation was perfectly prepared before we arrived, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. Sarah switched between English, French, and Italian to accommodate all . The pasta-making experience itself was incredible , all by hand . I attended the class with my 10-year-old son, and Sarah adapted her teaching style wonderfully to keep him engaged and involved throughout. The location was impressive ,it looked like a beautiful medieval palace and provided a stunning backdrop for the class. After we finished making the pasta, Sarah set up a gorgeous table outside where we could sit together and enjoy the meal we had prepared. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
The pasta making class was fabulous! Sarah was knowledgeable and entertaining which made the experience even better. We learned to make traditional pappardelle by hand inside a 16th-century fortress. Book it!
