What you'll do

Take Your Time to Get Settled In
Photo Opportunities galore just before you get ready to get stuck in!
Lessons Commence
You'll first start by cooking the potatoes to make a start on your gnocchi whilst chopping up all the desired ingredients for your panzanella, then you'll get your fresh basil plants ready to make delicious basil pesto.
Make Panzanella
First things first we will start with a very simple Italian salad with a crusty bread base, toss in olive oil, tomatoes, onions, garlic - it'll be one of the best salads you've ever had!
Gnocchi Making! Grate That Potato
After that you'll move onto your gnocchi making and will have grated and mashed your potato into balls, ready to roll out into smaller balls and use the special gnocchi board to finish off!
Get Making That Pesto
Using the freshest of basil, crack out and pestle and mortar and put in some work to create the smoothest, tastiest pesto ever! Mmmmm...
Roll Your Gnocchi
After your Gnocchi has taken a ball shape, make into smaller balls and roll along the board to create well-known Gnocchi shape!
Add Your Pesto to Your Gnocchi
Once your gnocchi is cooked and risen to the top you'll mix with your pesto and get to have a taste! Finally you'll move onto making crema al caffè - a gorgeous Italian dessert that is smooth and creamy. Have some little tasters as you go along, tuck in at the end or enjoy at home!
Take Home What You've Made
Pack away your things and your cooking leaders will clean up for you. You'll get to take away everything that you made (remember to bring tupperware!), your crema al cafe will be made in a glass jar that you can take home and keep!
- Learn the secrets to making pillowy potato gnocchi, paired with homemade basil pesto.
- Transform day-old bread into a fresh and vibrant panzanella salad.
