    This channel is fantastic by the way. It's Italian grannies, often, in their 80s and 90s making traditional pasta. Sometimes they are recipes and methods which could otherwise die out with them.

    They make it look so easy but I suspect it won't be when I try.

    On that note, any suggestions where I could get a 'ferro' or bulrush reed for making hollow pasta? Or what I could substitute? Maybe a spare spoke?

    And is there anywhere in East London where I could pick up some proper durum flour?

  • Years ago I would've said ask in Terroni's on Clerkenwell Road but they'd gone a bit posh when they reopened, might still be worth a try... Is it still run by the same family? You should be able to get tipo "00" durum flour pretty much anywhere now, even Tesco was doing it before I left...
