Handmade Gnocchi & Pesto

Description

If you are a pasta enthusiast then you came to the right place!

In this hands-on class, you’ll master the art of making pillowy soft gnocchi from scratch, paired with a vibrant, fresh pesto that brings out the best in the dish. Together, we’ll explore pasta-making techniques that focus on achieving perfect texture, flavor, and consistency, along with some of the fun tools and tips that make gnocchi easy and enjoyable to prepare. Whether you're a pasta lover looking to add a new skill to your repertoire or simply interested in learning how to craft an impressive homemade dish, this class will leave you with the confidence to recreate these restaurant-quality flavors at home!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you do not already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun 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 is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). You will work with other students in groups of 2-4.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you are part of a large group. Alcohol and Non Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the venue bar. Classes are intended for adults 21+.

Meet your chef instructor
Driven by a passion for accessible, sustainable, and flavorful plant-based cuisine, Chef Reya has dedicated her career to using food as a powerful tool for positive change. Her journey began as a plant-based chef and educator, where she developed cooking classes for college students focused on creating seasonal, budget-friendly, and delicious meals. Through grants she secured for the Food Systems Working Group, a nonprofit dedicated to food security, she was able to offer these classes for free, creating a valuable resource that empowered students to make nourishing meals on a budget. Her commitment to food security and sustainable systems led her to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, where she experienced profound culinary growth. At Esalen, she refined her skills, working with fresh, seasonal ingredients and learning from a community dedicated to holistic well-being. Today, she carries forward this knowledge and my dedication to making plant-based eating both accessible and deeply satisfying for all.
