Pasta Is Now As Easy As Shelling Peas
The mystery of pasta shape, size and how ravioli is filled is now a thing of the past. After this class it was all I could do not to go to the Estate Agent, buy a premises and set up an Italian restaurant! The chef turned us amateurs into budding chefs.
The staff made us feel welcomed and the chef was fantastic. He was very direct in his instructions which is required in such a forum, he imparted his knowledge as he went along and made sure everyone was involved in the evening, and had us all participating in tasks, which made it feel like a team effort. To sit down and eat the food we had just cooked was a great way to finish off the evening. I couldn't recommend the experience highly enough.
Met Some Lovely People, Learnt A Lot, Ate A Lot!
Very well structured evening, lots of useful tips and techniques. Plenty of 'hands on' time. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people for whom nothing was too much trouble. Great evening, great fun. Could not have enjoyed it more.
From start to finish it was a very friendly, well tutored and well organised course. The chef ensured that everyone got involved regardless of skill level.
A Superb Lifestyle Experience
A really well organised and fun packed Red Letter Days experience. Highly recommend this cookery masterclass, with excellent teaching approach from Carolina and her very helpful staff. Great location and comfortable 'school' setting. Dinner Parties Italian style here I come!
It was a really fun day out. I learnt lots from the course. The Chef was extremely talented and patient with us. I will be recommending the course to friends and family.
Never Thought I Could Make Italian Taste So Good!
A truly inspirational course that filled me with confidence, to consider my approach to cooking differently. I loved working with the freshest of ingredients, learning some top tips from a master chef and producing mouth-watering results! Thanks!
You'll Only Ever Want To Eat Fresh Pasta Now
We were shown how to make fresh pasta and spinach and ricotta ravioli with butter and sage sauce - wow - no more packet stuff for me! We then went on to make a chilli sauce, fresh pesto and an amazing Ragu which were also wow and relatively simple when you know how. We also made biscuits and the most amazing chocolate cake. Carolina our chef was excellent and gave us lots of tips on to be the perfect chef - I shall be the envy of all our friends now with these recipes and the know how. I came away having really learned something new and really enjoyed myself at the same time. Italian food is the best.
An Inspiring, Motivating And Fun Day
La Cucina Caldesi offered an exceptional experience ... welcoming, enthusiastic and supremely professional.

Will Never Take Pasta For Granted Again
This was the first cooking class I ever did in my life and it was great fun learning how to make pasta along with several other Italian dishes. The day was well organised and ended with us all sitting around eating what we made.
A Fantastic Cooking And Eating Experience
A really well organised, entertaining and informative session, and a great hands-on experience in a lovely kitchen.
Excellent Friendly Tuition And Lots Of Fun
Clear explanation of lots of different recipes. Friendly helpful tuition. Very relaxed, do as much or as little as you like. Excellent venue, all in one room so no messing about. All tidying, cleaning and washing up is done by the staff.
Excellent Day And I Learnt A Lot!
The Italian Masterclass is a really enjoyable day out and the best thing is that you get to taste the end results! It's a very social course and everyone mucks in together and works as a team. You can easily go by yourself knowing that you'll be speaking and working with new people straight away.
Really exceptional evening. Very friendly and welcoming, good standard of teaching and needless to say lovely food!! Thank you!
A Great Evening Out, Cook Your Food And Eat It!
A good relaxed evening, well hosted, we learnt a lot, and had a great meal. Life really doesn't get much better than that!!
I really enjoyed the experience and it has given me a taste for learning more about Italiian cookery. The session was very well managed, ran to time and had all the discipline that you would expect from a professional kitchen.
Fun, Food, Wine - "That's What I'm Talking About"!
14 guests, 3 teachers, 3 additional to eat, mayhem right? None of it. Ten course meal for 20 within 2 hours - spot on. Organisation a peach. Ingredients excellent and tuition just right.
Great day, really enjoyed it!
The day was very nice. The people holding the class were very nice and helpful when I had questions. The dinner was very nice and the biscotti take away was delicious. I think this is a great way to celebrate someone/something. I met people at the class who got the day for their birthday or Christmas. That is a wonderfully different way to give someone a gift.
Very enjoyable experience
This was the first time I had been on a Red Letter Day and I am pleased to say that I had a very enjoyable experience and learnt lots of new cooking tips.
Good event but a bit crammed
Took a while to find a suitable date when I wanted to book. Good actual event but due to size of group it was a bit crammed in and not everyone had a chance to participate in each activity.
Just a brilliant experience
It was a very good day. We had a good teacher, which made it fun and exciting. We had a very good lunch, it was just a brilliant experience.
Fantastic from start to finish
The Red Letter Day was a gift from my children, from the very start to the very end the whole experience was fantastic, very professional team, excellent delivery, and a really great group of people all really motivated by our chef Jane who was excellent!
