‘Feeling Through Food’ Cooking class is a monthly gathering in person or via Zoom where we will be watching and/or assisting in making an array of foods with once of Rhode Island’s finest chef’s!

What you will get:
- A pdf file on how to make the dish we are learning with all the instructions
- A live video recording sent to you after the class
- An opportunity for tons of Questions and Answers
- A place to share laughs and have fun!
- If you are in person with us, we will be indulging in said food once it’s prepared so please come with an empty stomach!

April’s Class:
What we will be making... Pasta!

Pasta made fresh by hand hits different. Something about the smell of the dough, the process of gently incorporating ingredients and rolling it in your hands is pure satisfaction and gratitude. From a simple recipe we can learn to incorporate other ingredients in our pasta dough such as spinach, lemon and pepper, or even squid ink!

We will start with a basic pasta and go over how and when to add other ingredients if you please.

We will be preparing our pasta with one of my favorite sauces Pantelleria! Pantelleria can be very versatile and paired with any number of dishes. We will be preparing this sauce raw, meaning we do not cook any ingredients but rather blend them all together and simply toss the hot pasta in and enjoy. (Like a pesto!) This allows our taste buds to capture each individual flavor across our whole pallet at once. Which is an experience we do not often get to have. This can trigger many pleasure feeling, allowing the body to relax more and enjoy each bite to its fullest. When eating in a state of joy and relaxation the most important outcome is that our body's can absorb nutrients more easily.

Cost:
In person: $75 includes dinner
or $145 for two!
Via Zoom: $55

"About the Chef, Samantha”

Samantha is a self taught chef with 15 years experience in professional kitchens (including Narragansett’s finest Coast Guard House). She strives to cook each dish she makes with care keeping the person eating it in mind.
From Samantha, “In a restaurant setting, I often do not get to see the people eating the food, but it is my greatest pleasure seeing clean plates come back. I have wanted to teach my skills for some time now and working with Sarah to make this dream happen is so exciting and I am eager to share my passion with curious minds.
This class is truly for anyone. I do not believe anyone who says "I can't cook" and I especially do not believe when someone says "I don't like that" I urge anyone who has said both to anything food related to MAKE IT YOURSELF! And I am here to help with that. I learned to cook from FEELING. Using all of my senses to know when something is done, or what it may need. Cooking is truly an act of passion and I wish to teach people how to slow down and tune into the food you make using all of your senses.”
