Step into a warm, inviting kitchen in Baltimore and embark on a hands-on journey into the art of gnocchi-making. Begin with a beautifully curated cheeseboard featuring a selection of Italian and French cheeses, setting the stage for the evening’s flavors.
Under your chef’s guidance, craft classic Italian gnocchi using traditional techniques to create light, pillowy dumplings. Pair them with a rich, creamy pesto sauce made with fresh basil, Parmesan, and cream. Then, explore the French interpretation with Parisian-style gnocchi, learning to pipe and cook these delicate morsels to perfection.
Serve your Parisian gnocchi with a silky butternut squash purée and garlic shrimp sautéed in brown butter. Compare both styles, appreciating the contrast in textures and flavors. Enjoy your creations in an intimate, small-group setting and leave with new culinary skills, cherished recipes, and a deeper understanding of gnocchi-making to impress at your next dinner gathering.
