The process starts with the perfect dough – so your cooking course will begin by sharing the secrets to securing a springy, delicious consistency. Next, they’ll turn to your technique, making sure it is the ideal thickness, shape and texture. Finally, you and your other half will be posted at the pasta making machine, watching as your dough transforms into those familiar triangles, tubes and tangles we all know and love.  

Did you know there are over 350 varieties of pasta? At our Italian cooking classes, you’ll get to choose from some of the most popular types including fusilli, fettuccine, tagliatelle and penne.

Pizza is one of the world’s most popular dishes – and it’s also one of the most common types of food consumed on date nights! Need a gift experience idea for your anniversary or just some fun things to do in London as a new couple, make that pizza pie and eat it too!

Great pizza starts with good dough – so your passionate pizzologist will start the cooking class by showing you how to transform a few fresh ingredients into the base for your pizza creation (it’s surprisingly simple!). Get hands-on as you learn the art of authentic Italian pizza making by kneading your dough to perfection before having fun throwing and tossing the dough like a proper chef. Craft individual pizzas or a collaborative creation by adding a topping combination that makes your mouth water. Whether it's pepperoni, classic Margherita, or a fresh veggie recipe, the choice is yours!

The best part? At the end, you’ll get to taste the fruits of your labour and have your own pizza party – and even can share each other’s slices.
