Looking to spice things up at home? Connect online with your friends over a cosmo in your martini glass and vodka in your pasta sauce!
Get ready to be transported back in time as we learn a dish made famous in the late '60s, early '70s and making a revival on the food scene today - vodka pasta! Pair it with a classic vodka cocktail or two and we guarantee a good night in store.
This trending dish exploded onto the American food scene at a time when vodka was soaring in popularity. Its clever creator realised that vodka’s boozy sharpness served as a perfect foil for the sweetness of cooked tomatoes and heft of heavy cream, and it was through this revelation that a cosy, comforting, perfectly balanced Italian-American recipe was born.
This richly indulgent sauce makes for the perfect winter warmer when we need a little edible comfort in our bowls and warmth in our hearts!
In this fun and hands-on class, our experienced Italian Chef will share a family recipe very dear to his heart, having been passed down from his Italian godfather.
After sharing, Chef James will kick off this vodka pasta party by teaching you how to make two famous vodka-based cocktails; the Cosmopolitan and the Moscow Mule. With a cocktail in hand, you'll then be guided step-by-step in cooking this American-Italian pasta classic.
By the end of this class, you'll have gained the confidence to throw out those packet sauces and try mastering your own pasta sauce at home, whilst also adding some crowd-pleasing recipes to your repertoire!
Crack open the vodka and celebrate with your group at this fun and unique online class. Perfect for end of year team building activities or exciting hens party ideas, everyone will be able to have a laugh over this hands-on cocktail and cooking experience!
