Begin by learning how to prepare traditional potato gnocchi from scratch. You will work the dough by hand, shape the gnocchi, and discover the techniques used to achieve the right soft texture. Next, prepare authentic Genoese pesto using a marble mortar and wooden pestle. Your instructor will guide you through the ingredients, traditional gestures, and local stories behind this iconic Ligurian recipe. Once the cooking is complete, sit down together for a relaxed brunch featuring the handmade gnocchi dressed with your freshly prepared pesto. The meal is accompanied by a tasting of two Ligurian wines selected from small local producers. The activity takes place in an intimate, family-run Ligurian food shop and combines hands-on cooking, local culture, wine, and conviviality.
