Italian Classics: Gnocchi, Risotto & Polenta Cooking Class

There's so much more to Italian cuisine than pizza and pasta! In this decadent class, you'll learn how to make wild mushroom risotto; how to knead, roll and cook gnocchi with brown butter-sage sauce; and how to prepare polenta, a versatile ingredient you can prepare in a multitude of ways. In class we'll prepare it Roman-style, as crispy squares with cavolo nero and Parmesan. These dishes are templates rather than recipes – as with all our classes, we'll focus on skills and techniques, so you can rely on your senses rather than words on the page.

Think this class would make a perfect gift? We do too – that's why we offer Cook School Gift Cards, for one or two guests, in paper and digital formats.
