Handmade Gnocchi with Classic Sauces
Description
With a few simple ingredients, a little muscle and a lot of love, whip up home-made pillow-soft dumplings just like Nonna!
In this fun and interactive class you’ll learn how to make classic gnocchi just like they do in Italy, with the necessary tips and tricks on how to make the potato-based dough from scratch. Our Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration, before you will be guided step-by-step in replicating the process of making, folding, rolling, cutting and shaping gnocchi dough. Our Chef Instructor will then demonstrate (with class participation) how to create two flavorful sauces; classic tomato basil sauce and a Sicilian pesto sauce, both made from scratch and easy to recreate at home! We source the freshest ingredients to let the flavors shine through in this simple yet impressive dish. At the end of class, sit back to enjoy your creations and pair with a great glass of wine!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. 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).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are not included in the ticket price. 21+ only.

Meet your chef instructor
With a degree in nutrition, Chef Ben spent the first 6 years of his career working as a food scientist for a billion dollar food company. Eventually he realized that processed food was not his passion, and he's spent every spare moment since then mastering his craft in the kitchen with real food, specializing in healthy California inspired cuisine, with an emphasis on whole foods and plant-based recipes.
Where the class will be
Grafted Cellars
2379 La Mirada Drive Vista, CA 92081
Nestled amongst breweries and distilleries in a Vista business park, Grafted Cellars is a hidden gem of quality wine. A family-owned Urban Winery, we source our grapes from right here in Vista, to Napa Valley, to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, any AVA in between…but quality varietals from our own South Coast AVA are a priority, to showcase our local terroir and potential. Fruit is processed and aged at our in-house cellar, right behind our tasting room… we do it all right here. With over 20 varietals represented (and always more on the way), and with love and appreciation for both new and old world style and expression, Grafted Cellars has something for everyone.

Chef Ben was great! The class was interactive, hands on, and super easy to follow. And the gnocchi with both sauces was DELICIOUS!!!! Easy to make with few and simple ingredients. Thank you Chef Ben for making it easy for me to make again at home!!!

We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Chef Ben was a remarkable experience. He was easy to understand and he did not leave out any details, including talking about the famous san-marzano tomatoes he used for one of the sauces. Chef Ben gave lots of details and many secrets to guarantee cooking success. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She really enjoyed it which makes me happy as well. Thank you so much.

Chef Ben was great! We loved the food and the sauces he created. My only complaint was the room we were in for the class was very crowded.

The class was excellent and the food was even better. It was easy to follow along and Chef Ben did an amazing job. This was my first class with CocuSocial and I look forward to taking more classes in the future. Can I please be provided with the recipes from the class so that I may be able to recreate for family and friends. Thank you :)
