Pasta and prosecco

5.00The cooking class was good. It is a little annoying to meet away from where the class takes place. We made pasta from scratch but what we ate looked much better than what we produced. We also made foccaccia that we could take away. There was what seemed to be bottomless prosecco. The lunch was delicious. I was a little put off by the presence of content creators. It was a distraction and a bit invasive and one of them wasnt very friendly to us. But small detractions from an otherwise friendly morning.
