Join Chef Chelsea in our Gold Coast Kitchen for a hands-on pasta making class. Start with a welcome glass of wine, then spend the evening learning the fundamentals of fresh pasta from scratch.
Chef Chelsea will walk you through the process, sharing tips and techniques for crafting multiple styles and shapes so you can recreate them at home. Finish the evening with a family-style dinner of the pasta you've made, along with a salad, dessert, and wine.
