Christian was a wonderful teacher. We were all made to feel at ease and not to mind if we messed up! Easy to find venue. We all made our own fettuccine, ravioli and tortellini and then ate the fettuccine with ragout that Christian had made. Delicious! A great evening. Thank you

Had such a great time doing this pasta masterclass with Christian! He was a great teacher who was very patient with the class and also super friendly! He had a wealth of information about pasta to share with us, and we got to learn how to make fettuccine, ravioli and tortellini! And we got to enjoy some of the pasta we made for dinner which was super delicious as well as getting to take our raviolis and tortellinis home to boil and some dough so we get to have another go at making it from scratch! Definitely recommend for a date night, girls night or just go by yourself if you want to learn about pasta! Thanks Christian!

Chris was very helpful and informative the whole time.
He was happy to answer all our questions and has a lot of knowledge to share.
The class had a very personal and homely feel which would be great for anyone feeling anxious about doing their first cooking class.

Christian was very friendly and taught us how to make fettuccine, ravioli, and tortellini. All the ingredients were provided, we just needed to bring ourselves and an empty belly! At the end of the lesson, Christian cooked us the pasta we made and it was delicious! We got to take home our dough and extra pasta that didn't get cooked! I will definitely be making my own pasta at home now thanks to this lesson!

Lotsa fun learning how quick it was to make pasta dough. Christian was very personable and clearly passionate about his trade! Best spag bol that we've ever eaten and we took the pasta that we made home. Couldn't ask for more - thank you Christian!

It was such a fantastic session to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday! Not only did Christian provide us the basic fundamentals on how to make the pasta sheet, but he also showed us how to make all types of different pasta (more than we expected). It was very hands on and we were able to play around and have a crack at making the different pastas as well. It felt like an authentic experience and Christian was very personable and friendly! He gave us everything we needed to know about pasta making - including giving us all of the different types of pastas that we made for us to take home. He also made us a nice little lunch after the class using the fettucini that we made, and it was absolutely delicious. I would 100% come back for another class with Christian.
