What you'll do
In this cooking class experience, you will learn how to make a semolina-based pasta, no eggs in this one.You’ll be working in the beautiful baking kitchen of Flour Water Salt, a space designed for creativity and connection, surrounded by the aromas of artisan bread and pastries—a truly inspiring setting for your Italian culinary experience.You will start by kneading the dough, a gentle workout, and a chance to chatter as you knead.The dough will then need a little rest, giving time to make and compare two pestos; the traditional Genovese Basil Pesto and a seasonal one.You will then have the opportunity to do some blind olive oil tasting, an experience in itself; providing skill and knowledge for life.By now, the dough will have rested, the prep is done, and you can relax, gather around the table creating and shaping your pasta. There will be at least 3 different pasta shapes. Firstly trofie, which is a short thin twisted pasta that originates from Liguria in Northern Italy, traditionally paired with the world-famous Genovese pesto. You will also learn how to make the orecchiette; little ear shapes, traditionally from the South of Italy and Cavatelli also from the south of Italy. The shaping of the pasta is a wonderful time, it brings out the chatter and conversations flow.Finally, you will learn some top tips on how to cook the pasta pesto the traditional Italian way.Of course, you get to eat, taste, and delight in a truly homemade Italian meal.Throughout the experience, you will be receiving several hints, tricks, and food inspiration.Along with your pasta to complete the meal, there will be a green salad, fresh olives, and the wonderful FWS bread. Followed by a wonderful sweet treat supplied by FWS.*Let me know if you have any dietary requirements, and we can discuss the ingredients.

I love to cook with others and I love to share my knowledge. For over ten years I sailed around the world working as a high end personal chef on luxury sailing yachts. I have a passion for food and have had the pleasure of travelling to many different countries seeing the assortment of flavours and variations of dishes. This has enabled me to pick up flavour combinations and skills from people around the world. As a luxury yacht chef, you need to be able to cook a wide variety of food. Pretty much whatever the guests ask for, you need to magically make appear from the galley! I loved this challenge and it enabled me to discover and master a wide variety of cuisines. Wherever we dropped anchor I would hunt for fresh ideas -- the foods at the market, the fellow yacht cheffies, the local chefs and homes. Part of my on-going training has included an intensive course at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners (ICIF) in the Piemonte region of Italy and sushi classes at the Japanese Institute in LA. I have since settled on land and am now enjoying bringing people together through my fun, interactive cooking classes.
