    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?

  • I sent my wife on the two pasta making courses that Burro e Savlia do and she enjoyed them quite a bit. As others have mentioned, 00 flour is readily available.

  • There are regional pasta that are made differently as tommmm mentions.
    An example is that some areas add chestnut flour.

    Part of me things that you have just invited geofox over ;)
