PASTA RETREAT

Written By Jennifer Nickle

A Winter Respite with Chef Jen + special guests

Every second Tuesday from January - April 2026

Roof Garden, Toronto

Designed as a progressive immersive experience, Pasta Retreat offers a steady anchor activity through the winter months— to nourish, practise and connect. While the content and pace of the full series offers the richest experience, (and the lowest price tag!) you’re welcome to join a single class if you’re curious to try it out or can’t commit to all six. 

3:00pm – Doors Open

  • Late afternoon light, gentle music, cozy winter vibes

  • Guests can co-work, sip tea, settle in, stretch out, enjoy Roof Garden!

5:00pm – Hands-On Pasta Workshop (some classes will feature surprise guest chefs!)

  • An immersive, technical workshop model. Each participant gets their own station, apron, dough ball.

  • Each workshop features a single pasta shape and method (these vary in technical difficulty, the first few classes being more beginner and building out from there)

  • Sauce is delicious and easy to execute (and comes with leftovers!)

  • Chef Jen leads the programming along with special guest chefs and co-hosts

7:00pm – Communal Dinner

  • Pasta is cooked and served tableside in The Cauldron (you’ll see what we mean)

  • Seasonal salad + griddled garlic sourdough + something sweet along the harvest table (we love our salads around here: you’ll get your greens we promise!)

  • An expertly paired wine is offered with dinner

  • We live love laugh for about 1.5 hours

8:30pm – Wrap-Up

  • Guests leave nourished and inspired with leftovers, a recipe card, and a swag bag in hand :)
