Meet the creator

The Monday Pasta Club began with a simple idea: a love of pasta, a passion for cooking and a desire to bring people together around the table.

I’m Ed, the chef and creator behind the club.

My journey into food started in Cheddar, Somerset, although it wasn’t always obvious that this was where I would end up. After initially applying to study law at Liverpool and taking a year out to travel, I decided to follow a different path and moved to Edinburgh to train as a chef.

Since then, I’ve worked across pastry, baking and catering, including time at the world-renowned Gleneagles Hotel and Bristol’s Ahh Toots.

But pasta has always been the constant.

In 2022, I took the leap into self-employment, turning The Monday Pasta Club from an idea into my full-time passion. Alongside sell-out supper clubs and collaborations with some brilliant brands, I’ve also had the opportunity to write and publish The Monday Pasta Club book.

Today, The Monday Pasta Club is where all of those things come together — recipes, events, private dining, collaborations and plenty of pasta.
