Cooking Class: Basics of Pasta Making
Under the guidance of Chef Tess, guests in this cooking class will learn the foundational techniques of pasta making. With only two ingredients, eggs and flour, learn to make tender and flavorful homemade pasta and sauces. Start by creating a savory and complex truffle and celery root filling for ravioli, then choose from three sauces and accompaniments to pair with handmade linguine. Choose from a classic Bolognese, creamy carbonara or classic con vongole (with clams). To finish the meal, try out a French technique to create a sweet treat: chocolate profiteroles.

Chef Tess was incredible. She was fun, energetic and knowledgeable. We have taken several cooking classes and none compare with the experience we had with Chef Tess. Highly recommend. She encouraged and created a for learning, participation and fun. We are going to be looking for another opportunity to attend one of her classes in the future.
