Embark on a gastronomic journey with Chef Tyler in an exclusive pasta-making workshop that brings the art of traditional Italian cooking to the heart of Tasmania. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a culinary novice, this hands-on experience is designed to elevate your kitchen skills and deepen your appreciation for handmade pasta.
Your adventure begins in the cosy, inviting kitchen of Stillwater, where Chef Tyler will guide you through the time-honoured techniques of pasta making. Under his expertise, you'll start by crafting traditional pasta dough from scratch, learning the secrets to achieving that perfect texture and consistency. With the dough prepared, it's time to explore the fascinating world of pasta shapes. Chef Tyler will teach you how to roll the dough through a pasta machine, a crucial step that includes lamination—a technique that layers and strengthens the dough, ensuring it holds its shape during cooking.
Next, you'll get hands-on experience with the mattarello, a traditional Italian rolling pin, mastering the art of rolling out the dough by hand. From there, it's time to bring your creations to life. You'll learn to shape a variety of pasta forms, including the delicate tortellini and tortelloni, the ridged garganelli, and the playful farfalle. Each shape has its own unique method and charm, and by the end of the session, you'll have the confidence to replicate these at home.
After the hard work is done, you’ll be rewarded with a three-course meal featuring the pasta you’ve crafted, paired with a glass of Tasmanian wine. This dining experience not only allows you to savour the fruits of your labor but also showcases the rich, local flavours of Tasmania.
As a token of your experience, you'll take home a custom Stillwater apron, perfect for your future culinary endeavors. Additionally, you’ll leave with a portion of your handmade pasta dough, so you can continue practicing your new skills and delighting your loved ones with homemade pasta dishes.
This workshop is more than just a cooking class; it’s an opportunity to connect with the rich culinary traditions of Italy, while celebrating the fresh, local ingredients of Tasmania. Join Chef Tyler for a day of learning, laughter, and delicious food in an unforgettable culinary experience that will inspire you to bring the art of pasta making into your own kitchen.
