Class Description

Join us for an intimate, hands-on Italian-inspired private cooking experience where your group will come together to create a seasonal, restaurant-style meal from scratch. Perfect for team-building events, celebrations, or a memorable night with friends, this class blends learning, flavor, and connection in a relaxed, guided setting.

You’ll learn how to make tender potato gnocchi by hand, working through traditional techniques that bring this classic dish to life. Your gnocchi will be paired with a rich, creamy squash sauce (demonstrated by the chef), alongside a fresh arugula salad with radicchio and artichokes, perfectly roasted asparagus, and a classic tiramisu dessert to finish. Students will focus on making the gnocchi, while the chef demonstrates the sauce and prepares the remaining components to ensure a seamless, enjoyable experience.

By the end of class, you’ll sit down together to enjoy a beautifully plated Italian meal and leave with new skills and confidence in the kitchen.
