COOKERY CLASS WITH DINNER & BOTTOMLESS DRINKS

In this three hour experience you will learn the satisfying skill of making fresh pasta. Set in a stunning space, and accompanied by delicious free flowing wine and prosecco, this really will be a work party to remember.

The experience is a designed to feel like a “home from home”, and you’ll be warmly welcomed by sisters Charlotte and Claire, ready with fresh bruschetta and the first of many glasses of wine and prosecco!

The kitchen is a space to rediscover the simple pleasures of connecting with people, channeling your creative energy, and of course enjoying fantastic Italian food and wine. The space takes inspiration from Venice where the family originate from, creating a space that allows you to step out of London for the evening.

The sisters don’t believe in cooking stations, but rather encourage everyone to work together around the island Italian style to create a family meal. In the summer the doors connecting to the kitchen open to a beautiful Moroccan inspired garden. The food is Italian home cooking at its best: simple, fresh and honest ingredients, prepared the traditional way.

In this hands on class you’ll be shown the secrets to perfect pasta fatta a mano (handmade). This class is not just about the cooking, it’s also about the Italian experience of sharing a laugh, helping one another and strengthening relationships in a homely environment.

Together you will learn to make fresh Tagliatelle, Tagliolini and Parpadelle as well as a seasonal filled pasta such as Ravioli stuffed with Ricotta and Truffle Oil with an Asparagus Sauce. Everyone will make their own pasta dough before working in pairs to roll out the dough and shape the ravioli. You’ll also create two pasta sauces to match the types of pasta. Matching sauces and pasta is an art in itself!

Once the cooking is done you will sit down together to enjoy the Italian feast you have prepared in the class. All of this will of course be topped with a lovely seasonal dessert and accompanied with a lovely flow of prosecco and Italian wines throughout the class.

There is also the option to upgrade to a 4 hour cookery class making a selection of Antipasti, Fresh Pasta or Risotto and a seasonal Dessert. Or for a unique day out with your team, at the Portobello Road Market Shopping Tour you will learn how to select the best quality ingredients to then create dishes together, taking inspiration from what is fresh and seasonal at the market that day before heading back to the kitchen to cook with your carefully selected produce.
