October 8, 11:30-2:30 p.m.

This workshop is all about mastering the craft of fresh pasta—from dough to filling to the final fold, learning the techniques that make tortellini one of the most satisfying pastas to shape by hand.

After crafting the dough, we will make a decadent mushroom filling—rich, savory, and designed to win over even the most committed mushroom skeptics. To finish, we prepare a brown butter sage sauce, learning how to control browning, extract maximum aroma from sage, and create a glossy, nutty sauce that complements the tortellini without overpowering it.

This class is equal parts technique and indulgence—perfect for anyone who wants to elevate their pasta skills and walk away with a dish that feels like pure comfort.

ALLERGY INFO: Wheat/Gluten, dairy, eggs (menu subject to change without notice due to product availability)

    — Kayla W. (via Yelp and Google)

  • “I just spent an awesome afternoon learning to make some wonderful ravioli. I have had the accouterments for making ravioli for years, but I never had the courage to try any recipes. Nicole was so patient and helpful. Her recipes are marvelous and yummy. I cannot wait until the next class!”

    — Lisa L. (via FB)

  • “This Cooking ‘School’ is really a venue to learn how to cook, enjoy, and present 5 star quality food! I just took my first class and it won’t be my last - I was thrilled with Nicole’s knowledge, the very personal way Nicole works with every class member, her recipes she creates straight from her love of very good food - I can’t wait to take another class! Very impressed!”

  • I love learning the small things that make such a huge difference in meal prep. Today I learned the importance of using the correct potatoes for mashed potatoes. Who knew? Nicole-that's who! She knows pretty much all the tricks of the trade.

  • Nicole knows how to put a great menu together and make every body feel like they are with family. The theme was an Evening in Tuscany: Tuscan Mushroom & Grape Crostini, Tuscan Panzanella Salad, Skillet Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Chocolate Budino with roasted nuts and bourbon spiked whipped cream for desert. Amazing flavors! Can’t wait to have friends over for dinner and serve them this delicious meal.

  • I attended the Springtime in Paris class today! It was so much fun. The ladies were fun and Nicole the Instructor was on top of her game! This was my 3rd class and another one next week. The menu was delicious and the strawberry souffle was incredible. I learn so much from these classes that I take home and make for my husband! I highly recommend taking whatever you like from Nicole. She knows her recipes and is an excellent instructor.

  • I took the pasta class and it was an amazing experience! It's 100% beginner friendly, you don't need to know a thing; however, I have made pasta before and got all of the tips and tricks that I needed to improve my pasta, so you don't have to be a beginner either. Nicole explained every step clearly, and the end result was beyond delicious! I'm looking forward to taking more classes here in the future and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to cook.

  • "After 7 classes with you, I can say that Culinary Bootcamp was a chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 You are the most amazing teacher, and I can’t wait for the March schedule to drop! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making all of your classes better than the last!" 🫶🏼
