Host Valentina

$41.85 per guest

ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

You will learn how to make Gnocchi! Starting from the selection of the right potatoes you will get your hands dirty with flour to finally master one of the most popular Italian classics.
Good part of the workshop is dedicated to the preparation of "ragù di carne" known as Bolognese sauce outside Italy. This is the traditional sauce to serve your home made gnocchi and it's also the basic sauce for many other Italian dishes such as lasagne, cannelloni, fresh pasta, dry pasta... I will also propose you one alternative sauce that you can choose from a list depending on the season.
The workshop will end at the dining table to enjoy what you have made with some good wine!

ABOUT THEMENU

During the cooking class you will learn all secrets to make delicious gnocchi including how to:
- select the potatoes
- make gnocchi
- prepare 1 traditional sauce, ragù di carne (Bolognese sauce)
- prepare 1 alternative sauce to choose between:
- gorgonzola
- mushrooms
- courgettes and prawns
- fresh tomatoes and basilicum

The workshop will be held in the weekend and will take approximately 3-4 hours. You can contact me to sign up for the Saturday/Sunday, morning or afternoon session. Also, let me know which alternative sauce you want to try.

ABOUT THELOCATION

I live in Rotterdam, at 4 minutes walk from the Central Station, in the neighborhood of Blijdorp.
The ideal number of guests should not be more than 4 people to give everyone enough space for making their own gnocchi and enjoy the workshop.

I really had a great time at Valentina's workshop! She taught us how to prepare gnocchi and also ragu sauce from scratch and was very patient and willing to share her passion for food. I'm definitely going to try the recipes home! It was also a nice occasion to meet people who share my (food!) interests. Overall, I would recommend this.

We had a workshop with three people. We got a warm welcome and started with a nice cop of coffee. After that we got an introduction with some background info. Then we got to the real cooking. Valentina was very knowledgeable and I really liked the fact that she showed us how to do each step after which we got to try for ourselves. The cooking was a lot of fun and the end result was delicious. All in all I had a really fun afternoon where I learned a lot and got some great food. Definitely something I would recommend to my friends.
