What to expect
Expect to get your hands properly dirty. You'll start with flour and eggs, learning how pasta dough behaves and why resting matters. The instructor will walk you through rolling, cutting, and shaping without hovering—there's room to get it slightly wrong and still end up with something delicious. After pasta, you'll layer mascarpone, coffee, and cocoa for tiramisu, understanding the balance that makes it work. Everything wraps up with a shared meal where you taste your own cooking. It's not a performance; it's a working kitchen where you pick things up by doing them.
Good to know
Three hours includes cooking and eating. Bring an apron or wear something you don't mind dusting with flour. The space accommodates pushchairs, and if you're bringing very young children, ask about seating arrangements. Public transport links to the venue are straightforward.
