Fun Pasta Making Class With a Local Chef in Grand Rapids

Chef Jerry's hands-on cooking class is where you finally learn the stuff that actually makes the difference between decent homemade pasta and something that genuinely tastes like a restaurant made it. You will start by understanding why flour type and ratios matter more than most people realise, then work your dough until it hits that perfect, silky texture. From there you will fold and fill delicate cappelletti with a luxurious crab filling of cream cheese, scallions, parsley and Old Bay, before tackling one of the most notoriously tricky sauces in the culinary world. Hollandaise. Chef Jerry breaks down the emulsification process step by step so it actually makes sense, and by the end you will wonder why you ever found it intimidating. Finish by plating your dish like a proper food artist, playing with color, height and negative space until it looks as good as it tastes.
