Top British Columbia Food & Drink Classes

There is something almost meditative about making pasta by hand. The mixing, the kneading, the rolling, the cutting. And then you finish it in a sauce you also made from scratch and suddenly the whole thing just clicks. In this relaxed, beginner-friendly class Chef Hamzeh walks you through making proper fettuccine from flour, eggs, semolina and olive oil before letting you take the wheel on the sauce. Go for a bright, herb-forward tomato sauce with basil, garlic and thyme, or a deeply comforting white sauce with cream, butter and Grana Padano. Either way you are eating something genuinely homemade at the end of it, which in Vancouver is always a good call. Simple ingredients, timeless technique and a meal that will make you wonder why you ever bought pasta from a box.

Ninety minutes. One pizza. Entirely yours. That is the deal and it is a pretty good one. In this fun, beginner-friendly class Chef Hamzeh walks you through everything you need to know about making pizza from scratch, from handling the dough to building toppings that actually work together. The best part is that you get to choose your own style, New York, Neapolitan, balloon pizza or calzone, and pile on whatever toppings you like from a spread of tomato sauce, mozzarella, fresh vegetables and basil. No two pizzas ever come out the same and that is entirely the point. The final 30 minutes are all about sitting down, eating what you made and enjoying the company of whoever you came with.
