Pasta kookcursus: Nonna's recepten beheersen

There was a change to the meeting place and we did not receive a notice - same with two other couples. So we stood outside and waited because Viator said they would send someone. That “someone” didn’t show so we started walking towards the new place. As we got closer, we noticed a young man running past us and towards the meeting place - it was the CHEF. They sent the chef to come and find us! Obviously, when 1/2 the class showed up 15-20 minutes late, it was a bit chaotic. There was one bathroom for 16 of us which also slowed down the process quite a bit as everyone needed to wash hands. We finally got started almost an hour later. The actual experience was phenomenal! Chef Thomas is extraordinarily skilled and a wonderful teacher, but the problem was he had to do EVERYTHING. He had no one to handle dishes, retrieve and pour wine, or help him in any way… which slowed the process even further. Our evening started at 7:30pm and we finally said our early goodbyes to the group at 11:30pm- just having finished our meal, which by the way was delicious! This lack of help for Thomas, the confusion re: the meeting place, and the recipe we followed was meat based (which no one informed us of and I’m a vegetarian) are the reasons for 4 stars instead of 5.

An amazing highlight in my Florentine experience! I learnt so much from Marco the chef! He had boundless energy, wonderful enthusiasm and incredible expertise! The venue was beautifully designed, very professional and very well organised! The skills we learnt have been so helpful and the sauces were absolutely delicious! Marco was kind and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in really learning to make pasta from the heart! Would definitely do this course again!!!
