To my eternal shame, the pasta maker I bought when working at Heals over 15 years ago has never been used. Every now & again I think, I must use it. More often I'm thinking wouldn't it be a good idea to gather together a group of likeminded people preferably with one person who has used a pasta machine & spend a jolly afternoon learning to make pasta together? I call it skillet or rather skill-it. Maybe that sounds too much like a government youth work programme but I hope the idea is clear!
I had lunch with Florian Siepert on Monday & mentioned my idea. He showed me the website of a group in Germany called The Producers who got together & in one day made ketchup, rillets, jam, roasted coffee beans & even had their own labels. No fees involved & shared costs so you leave with a few jars & bottles instead of hundreds. We want to bring this idea to London.
Interested? We'd love to hear from you. We need people with talents & culinary skills to share, people who don't mind sharing their kitchen space. From baking to pickling, jam making to pasta, from Polish pierogi to Danish pastries, share your cultural and culinary knowledge.

We share costs & kitchens, ideas & enthusiasm. Any takers? I can't be the only person in London with a pasta machine gathering dust!
