The room smells of flour and warm butter; a long communal table hums with conversation beneath the industrial lights of a local brewery. Chef Will moves deliberately, demonstrating how semolina and eggs become wide pappardelle ribbons while the kettle for the oxtail ragù simmers behind him. Participants roll, fold and cut with hands-on guidance, then gather to plate the pasta with slow-braised meat that’s been coaxed into silk by hours of gentle heat.
