Next-level gnocchi @ Islington HQ

Step into the heart of Italian cooking and master the art of making fluffy, light potato gnocchi in this hands-on class. Over the session, you’ll learn to cook a sweet tomato sauce infused with chilli, fragrant basil, and garlic, and discover how to perfectly rice baked potatoes to create a next-level gnocchi dough. You’ll uncover the techniques for kneading and shaping the dumplings, then cook them to perfection before tossing them with melted butter, plenty of Parmesan, and your homemade tomato sauce. The class also teaches you to whip ricotta with Parmesan and premium extra virgin olive oil until smooth and creamy, ready to dollop over your gnocchi. All ingredients, equipment, and aprons are provided, and you’ll work in pairs at your own cooking stations, guided by an expert chef. A digital recipe pack is included so you can recreate the dishes at home.

After cooking, take a seat at the chef’s table to enjoy your next-level gnocchi, accompanied by a seasonal Italian side salad with balsamic dressing and a complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink. Water is provided throughout, and additional drinks can be purchased from the menu. The class can be adapted for vegan and vegetarian diets, but is not suitable for gluten-free diets. Solo participants may be paired with another guest, and the duration includes teaching demonstrations, hands-on cooking, and time to savor your meal. The experience is fully immersive, educational, and delicious, with active participation required from all attendees.
