Fresh Pasta Making with Silvana de Soissons
We are thrilled to present Silvana de Soissons to teach our pasta course and show us how to make authentic fresh pasta.
Silvana is an Italian cook and food writer. Born into a very foodie Lombard family, growing fresh food, sourcing good ingredients and preparing delicious meals has been at the heart of her everyday life and work ever since childhood.
In March 2011 she launched The Foodie Bugle, an online co-operative food and drink magazine that tells the whole story of good food and drink (www.thefoodiebugle.com).
She will demonstrate how to make fresh egg pasta and its shapes: tagliatelle, tagliolini, pappardelle, ravioli and farfalle. Everyone will participate in the making and rolling.
To accompany the pasta, she will show us how to make her homemade pesto, a simple, reduced tomato sauce, a foraged wild herb and lemon pasta sauce (ingredients brought from her kitchen garden), and her nonna's breadcrumb, parsley, olive oil and rocket sauce. They are all very simple and easy to make.
My mouth is watering as I write this up…..
During the evening you will be given tasters of the dishes made and a main meal with specially selected organic wine or fruit juice. You will be given a recipe file of all the dishes made so you can recreate them at home.
Cost: £45 per person 6.30 till 9pm
