The room smells of flour and hot olive oil; a wooden table dusted with semolina invites you to press, fold and roll. For two hours you’re not a spectator — you’re making dough, coaxing it smooth, cutting fettuccine ribbons and stirring a bright marinara as steam curls from a pot. The chef’s voice guides each step; laughter and the clatter of utensils punctuate the lesson.
