How the Pasta Class Works
The pasta class begins with the dough: guests make it themselves under the chef's guidance, with no experience required. With the chef guiding each step, the class then makes two dishes: Spinach Tagliatelle or Fettuccine paired with Walnut Basil Pesto, and Classic Pappardelle paired with Brown Butter Sauce, Squash and Sage. Guests enjoy each dish together as it comes off the stove, so the meal is shared throughout the session rather than saved for the end. Few dishes are as comforting as fresh pasta, and making it from scratch is the point of the session.
How Many People Can Join?
When the chef travels, the pasta class takes 10 to 120 guests. That range covers a ten-person team, a full department or a company-wide session in a large room. The class is priced per guest, and a flat travel charge is added once per booking for bringing the class to your location, so the full total appears before you request to book.
Where It Happens
For this version of the pasta class, the chef travels to the customer: your office, a meeting room or another business venue in San Francisco and nearby. The chef travels to corporate offices and business venues only, not private homes. Bringing the class on site keeps the group in a familiar space and saves everyone a commute. Groups that would rather use a ready-made setting can book the same class at the chef's private dining room in San Francisco, which takes up to 60 guests.
Good Fit For
As pasta making team building, the pasta class puts every guest's hands in the dough from the first minutes. As cooking team building, the pasta class gives every guest a station, a task and a shared result.
- Team building where pairs share a rolling station
- Holiday parties built around a shared pasta meal
- Offsite retreats that want a relaxed, social afternoon
- Workshops for beginners, since no experience is required
- Team birthdays and work anniversaries at the office
Who Teaches the Class
The owner and chef instructor teaches every session. With 15 years as a culinary instructor, more than 400 classes and over 12,000 students over the past eight years, she specializes in interactive team-building cooking experiences for corporate clients. Her background runs from Southeast Asian cooking to Italian cuisine, pastry arts and cake decorating, and she has taught culinary arts at several schools and trained with experienced pastry professionals at a local bakery. Guests often mention how fantastic and funny she is as a teacher.
Can the Menu Work for Dietary Needs?
Yes. Ingredients, recipes and menus for the pasta class are fully customizable to suit preferences, dietary needs and the event theme. Allergies and dietary needs are confirmed at least seven days before class, which gives the chef time to plan substitutions for the whole group.
Planning Notes
The onsite pasta class runs two hours, so it slots into a workday afternoon or follows a meeting. Book at least seven days ahead: allergies and dietary needs are confirmed seven or more days before class, and rescheduling also needs seven days of notice. The class involves sharp tools and hot surfaces, so participation is at each guest's own risk, and photos or videos may be taken during the session.
