Done right, these pillow-soft dumplings melt in your mouth and vanish right off the plate.
In this fun and engaging class, you will learn to master the technique of making a classic potato gnocchi dough recipe from scratch. The gnocchi will be accompanied with two easy and seasonal sauces: mushroom sauce and an herb and garlic butter sauce. Chef Diego will provide tips to give your gnocchi that special, professional-level touch that will surprise your family and friends at your next dinner party. At the end of class, you will sit down to enjoy your handmade gnocchi paired with each type of sauce.
No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
Please note that class will be hosted in Chef Diego's apartment. He is maintaining a sanitized space, for your safety, as per CDC guidelines. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable. Guests are welcome to BYOB. Chef Diego will provide non-alcoholic beverages and chips & salsa for you to enjoy throughout the class.
Guests are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne. Chef Diego will provide non-alcoholic beverages and chips & salsa for you to enjoy throughout the class. The nature of our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Chef Diego's apartment is conveniently located near the 86th Street 4, 5, and 6 trains and 86th Street Q train. There is a parking garage that is attached to the building with an entrance on 89th Street. Additionally, guests may park at any open street space surrounding 89th & 3rd Avenue. A small caution though that street parking is limited and can be difficult to find. Guests will have to check in with the doorman once they arrive in the building. The Doorman will let them up as soon as they are cleared. Once exiting the elevator, make a right and it is the first apartment on the left-hand side of the hall.
