This June, London Evening Standard’s London Food Month celebrates the capital’s adoration for all things edible. Bringing together the finest restaurants, chefs and drinking establishments, the city will play host to a month-long frenzy of night markets, workshops, collaborations and must-see gastronomic events.
We’ve pulled together the best of what Regent Street has on offer as part of London Food Month:
Frescobaldi - Saturday 3rd June, 10am
15 New Burlington Place, W1S 2HX
Join Head Chef Roberto Reatini for an intimate masterclass in making traditional fresh pasta and Tuscan cuisine for £70 per person. Begin the evening with a glass of prosecco, before enjoying an hour tutorial on how to make pasta from scratch; from making the dough, shaping into classic varieties and then creating a signature sauce to accompany your creation.
Your hard work in the kitchen will be rewarded with a delicious three-course lunch afterwards. Nom!
