Let’s play with dough!
Why would I make my own pasta?
Because it’s fun!
Because you can decide how you make it yourself.
Because knowing where your food comes from and how it’s being made, will help you respect it’s growers, makers, and help you choose better when you shop for your food.
Because making dough is a great skill to learn, and pasta making is one of the easiest and very forgiving. Although your pasta will get better each time, your first try will surprise you!

What can you expect?
What the Learn to cook without recipes classes make stand out from other cooking classes, is that we won’t be simply following a recipe. Everybody else is already doing that. Instead, we will focus on 1 subject only. That could be a cooking technique, an ingredient, a dish or another theme.
On Monday, January 23rd, 2023 we will dive into making pasta from scratch. We focus on Italian style pasta and talk and knead water/eggs and flour. We will talk about what type of flour you need, if it makes a difference if you use water, eggs or egg yolks. And we experiment with two different methods of pasta making, and comparing their outcome.
Class is open to all dietary preferences, as you can eat the pasta with any sauce you want (make sure you have it prepared, as we don’t have time for that in class). And yes, you can make gluten free pasta too.
We will knead, roll and cut by hand, but if you want to use your machines, that’s fine too.

About your chef
In her cooking classes, chef Edie loves to explain what happens in your pots and pans. In these 1 subject only cooking classes we will dive a bit deeper than just follow a recipe. It won’t be super science-y, but often we will do experiments so you can taste the difference between various methods, cooking techniques or seasonings. All to empower you to get a bit looser with recipes so you can come a more confident and creative cook.
Get in touch with any questions you have.
