Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden is hosting this autumn and winter a series of interactive and demonstrative masterclasses, workshops, tastings and wine dinners. Those that will be participating are encouraged to learn new skills with this series of pasta masterclasses and floral workshops. The Petersham Cellar team explores an array of carefully curated Italian wines during a series of tastings and wine dinners. These intimate events for small groups are intended to be educational, interesting and fun.
Pasta Masterclasses
Set in the Delicatessen out of hours, this intimate workshop will be an introduction to making delicious pastas that can be recreated at home time and time again. In this interactive class, Petersham Nurseries chefs will share recipes for traditional pasta dough, made using organic eggs from the Petersham Nurseries’ sister business, Haye Farm.
Guests will learn how to make a number of pasta shapes including: ravioli, garganelli and tagliatelle, as well as a number of simple Italian sauces. At the end of the workshop, the group will take home their freshly made pasta as well as pasta flour, Haye Farm eggs and a tomato sauce to use and replicate at home.
