Mamma Giulietta Pasta Workshops was born in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns, but the story began long before that. As a young girl, I learned to cook beside my Mum and Nonna, where the kitchen was always full of laughter, stories, and the smell of fresh pasta. In our Italian-Australian family, food has always been our love language — the way we connect, celebrate, and care for one another.
When lockdown began, something that had always felt so normal to me suddenly became something many friends and family wanted to learn. I spent hours on the phone and FaceTime guiding people through pasta dough, sauces, and family recipes they could make at home. That became the pivotal moment for my business — realising how valuable these traditions were, and how little of it had ever been written down.
My Nonna taught me to cook by feel and taste. You measure with your heart, not the scales. I wanted to preserve those lessons from the generations before me and share them with the next.
I love teaching because it’s about more than recipes — it’s about confidence, connection, and creating memories. Something special about my workshops is that every class carries the warmth, stories, and traditions of my family kitchen into yours.
