Pasta Like Nonna Makes is a hands-on cooking class designed for families to learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch using traditional techniques and repeatable methods they can confidently recreate at home.
Children will learn the basics of fresh pasta making, from mixing and handling dough to rolling, shaping and cooking pasta. The class is designed to be interactive, practical and confidence-building, with plenty of hands-on involvement throughout.
The class is intended for families with children attending alongside a parent or guardian, with up to two children able to attend per adult. This is a shared experience where parents are encouraged to assist and cook with their children throughout the session.
Held at Lot 50 in Yankalilla, the class is relaxed, social and highly practical, with plenty of time to cook, learn and ask questions throughout the session.
Once shaped, guests learn how to cook fresh pasta correctly, including timing, water preparation and how to achieve the right texture without overcooking. Sauce pairing principles are explained during the class, with a simple sauce prepared as a demonstration and served as a sample at the end to show how fresh pasta is traditionally finished and enjoyed.
We'll wrap up with a shared tasting of the pasta made during the class, enjoyed together in a relaxed and social setting.

Jackie directs and creates the Fleurieu Food and Wine food events and works with the team to deliver fun and information sessions. Every since Jackie was little she has enjoyed cooking, being in the kitchen with her nanna or mother and baking. She enjoys creating her own recipes and loves how food takes you on a journey or elicits a memory. Cooking for family and friends is a favourite past-time for Jackie.
She completed her training in Food and Catering at Hospitality School before taking a different direction in life. She has now come back to sharing her love and passion for food. When her children were little she had to learn to adapt foods and recipes for different palates and to cater for numerous food allergies. She loves cooking from scratch and keeping food free of additives and preservatives.
Food can takes us on a journey that reflects the cultures and the history of the world. I like to travel the world through food and I hope you will join me!
I want my food to be approachable and to give you the confidence to create!
