What to expect
You'll arrive at a working restaurant kitchen where Barbara walks you through each stage. Expect to get your hands messy: kneading dough, rolling pasta sheets, stirring sauces, and plating your main. She demonstrates techniques, corrects your grip, and lets you taste as you go. The pace moves steadily—this isn't leisurely; you're genuinely cooking a meal. Between tasks there's natural downtime for questions and chat. Once the last plate is ready, you move to the dining area, sit properly, and eat together. The whole experience balances real instruction with social meal-making.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind staining. An apron is provided. The kitchen is fully wheelchair accessible, as are all transport links and dining areas. Bring no assumptions about difficulty—Barbara adjusts for all skill levels. Alcoholic drinks aren't included, though you're welcome to bring your own.
