Join our live, online and interactive handmade pasta cooking class!
Making pasta from scratch is not a life saving skill, but it is fun to learn how you make it, understand the ingredients you need, and how using others will give you a different result on your plate.
We will mix, knead, roll and boil handmade pasta.
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!

About your chef
This class will be taught by chef Edie Dourleijn, once a picky eater who couldn’t cook.
She documented her path to eating and cooking everything as one of the first food bloggers of her home country The Netherlands (in 2006!). To learn more quickly, she looked around for classes that would help her understand what is going on in her pots and pans, but they didn’t exist. Eventually, she ended up at culinary school.
Now chef Edie teaches her Learn to cook without recipes classes for curious cooks who want to become free of recipes. Just like she once was.
Edie also hosts all kinds of entertaining and educational virtual cooking classes to celebrate any occasion with family or friends, or as a (real) team building, receiving 5 star reviews.
Get in touch with any questions or requests you have.
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.
In the handmade pasta class 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.
We will knead, roll and cut by hand, but if you want to use your machines, that’s fine too.
