Winter is a season for comfort—warming meals, gentle routines, and reconnecting with the things (and people) that nourish us most. As we ease into the new year, I’m excited to invite you to a new series of pasta workshops in Amsterdam, each with its own unique shapes and seasonal sauces.
There’s something truly special about gathering in the kitchen when the world outside is cold and grey. Inside, the table glows with color, laughter, and the comforting aroma of something simmering on the stove. This year, I want to bring that magic to life in a new way: every winter pasta workshop will feature its own unique pasta shapes and seasonal sauces — no two classes the same.
Why the change? Over the years, I’ve seen how our best moments happen when we embrace what’s fresh, local, and in season. I want each workshop to be a true celebration of the winter harvest—from sweet root vegetables and hearty greens to fragrant herbs and the occasional surprise from my favorite local farm partners.
But this isn’t just about ingredients. It’s about giving returning guests a reason to come back again and again, each time learning a new shape, a new sauce, a new story. Maybe you’ll discover the art of hand-rolling orecchiette, or master a rustic pappardella paired with a walnut cream you never knew you loved. Perhaps you’ll find a new favorite in a vibrant beetroot sauce or a cozy pumpkin and sage pairing—each class designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and joy.
For private bookings, this new approach means more than “the usual” pasta workshop. Want to explore lesser-known regional shapes? Curious about building a menu around what’s truly in season? Together, we’ll dream up a table that’s as unique as your group—perfect for team-building, celebrations, or simply gathering friends for a night of hands-on fun.
At its heart, this shift is about honoring the rhythm of the seasons, supporting local growers, and making every gathering feel special (check my blog post about it if you want to learn more!). Whether you’re here for the cozy winter vibes, the hands-on learning, or just to share a delicious meal, there’s a seat at the table for you.

For private bookings, this means more possibilities than ever—tailor your experience to your group’s tastes, curiosity, and the very best of the winter harvest.
If you’re ready for a gentle restart, a little comfort, and a lot of delicious pasta, there’s a seat at the table for you.
