What a truly wonderful experience. I recommend for anyone wanting to noot only learn how to prepare from scratch the best gnocchi you've ever tasted, but to understand what makes the gnocchi and the sauce partner together perfectly, you GOT to take this class. Chef V is both engaging, entertaining, and a culinary expert. Truly one of the best things I've ever done. Can't wait to schedule my next class. Superb!

Chef Veronica and son put on a wonderful experience for us I really liked the way she did it. We watched her do it first and she let us see carefully each step of how she was doing it. She let us know only see things but touch them too. We learned the steps and the order to do it in and then how to do each step. Then we were able to do it ourselves and my partner and I were able to do it very well and feel very successful! Then we got to eat it and it was delicious!
