This cooking class is a self contained introduction to everything that you want to know about making fantastic pasta dishes. On arrival you will be offered a refreshment then given a short brief on safety and orientation. The chef demonstrates the courses to be cooked, and answers any questions before students break into pairs to prepare the meal under the guidance of the chef. When everything is ready you will sit down and eat everything that you have prepared at a large single set table.

This class will show the difference between dried and fresh pasta, and just how easy it is to make your own from scratch! After completing the lesson you will have practical experience in food preparation, cooking and presentation. You will have the skills necessary to provide good food, inexpensively, with minimum effort.

The Cooking school experience was wonderful. Gabriel the head chef really explored the love for food and the kitchen. He was so kind in explaining every step and would answer any questions. We were allowed to take photos and videos which is what I loved during the experience and to hold as future memories. I enjoyed understanding and developing my Italian pasta skills

Turns out I can cook!!

Travis 11 April 2022

Perfect experience for anyone from a beginner to a seasoned home cook or as an introduction to pasta dishes and Italian cuisine. Gabe had great communication of the fundamentals of preparing pasta and cooking simple but tasty Italian dishes. Made it so simple and easy that even I can do it at home.

Definitely a must do experience, the best part is that not only making three types of pasta from scratch but you get to cook and eat your masterpiece. The Chef on the day was well presented and prepared and providing very helpful hints along the way. Overall an excellent and highly recommended experience

Making Pasta was fun !

I enjoyed the class, thank you Gabriele. The group was nice to hang with and the location was excellent, very close to home so didn't need to stress about traffic. Will do one of Gabriele's classes again one day.

Pasta making class

The chief who ran this class was very knowledgeable and quite pleasant. My sister purchased this experience for me for Christmas and it was quite expensive at $150pp. I would just like to offer a few suggestions for future classes; -Someone to be there when we arrive to welcome us. When he did arrive he still did not welcome us. -Cold water was available however a coffee or sparkling wine would put everyone in a good mood -The chief was not set up and started half an hour late. -He had set up at the end of narrow tables and it was difficult to see what he was doing. -We were given only 100gr of flour which really did not even make enough pasta for 1 person let alone 2 people. We were there from 10am to 1.30pm and therefore pretty hungry. Maybe even some bread would have been nice. -He spent quite a while cleaning tables in the middle of class while we stood around waiting. --It lacked atmosphere and chief really needs more enthusiasm. My sister was really disappointed as she was hoping for this special gift to have been memorable.

Cooking class pasta

The teacher was funny and very knowledgeable but it wasn’t what i thought a cooking class would be... there wasn’t much cooking, and it was cramped and we did not have our own station instead we worked Off regular dining tables.

Delicious pasta - great teaching!

George 4 March 2020

Gabriele was a great host - a skilled chef who gives practical tips and advice, but still lets you experiment enough to learn - and he brings a great personality to the room at the same time. The pasta we made tasted excellent. PS thanks for finding and looking after my girlfriend’s lost rings!

PASTA COOKING CLASS

It was just ok. However, I did learn how to make pasta and that is what the class involves. I just didn't enjoy the actual facility in which the cooking class was held.
