Master Parmigiana and Gnocchi Making with Farmers Market Shopping | Private
This Italian cooking adventure begins as any should, at the local open-air market shopping for fresh produce and soaking up the wonderful atmosphere. Your chef will be on hand to introduce you to the market and explain all the wonderful ingredients.
The palazzo is a short walk from the market. Apon arrival you will be welcomed with some fresh antipasti and a glass of prosecco. Once settled, throw on an apron and get cooking!
Parmigiana has become one of the most iconic Italian dishes and signifies a layered dish oozing mozzarella and tomato. The Sicilian speciality is traditionally made with eggplant and basil, yet you can actually make this dish with an array of different ingredients. We will make it depending on what we find at the market.
Likewise with gnocchi– these fluffy clouds of deliciousness are routinely made with potato but as you will discover they can be made with other vegetables also. They are also only supposed to be eaten on Thursdays in Rome but we will make an exception just for you!
For dessert the class will make a delicious panna cotta.
Lunch will be served with the food they prepared and local wines.
Reviews
After learning and practicing, we had a great meal tasting our products and drinking a lot of good wine and it was a real enjoyable experience
Chef Simone was so kind, funny and informative! He showed us why Romans make the pizza they make, how to make the sauce, and how to bake the pizza's in the oven. We tried our hand at Gelato too - genius! Such a great part of our trip!!!! Totally made the TOP of our list! Completely WORTH IT!!!! Such a fun experience, doing something off the beaten path, and so fun!!!! Our Pizza we made was THE BEST PIZZA we had in Rome!!!! Thin, crispy, enough sauce, basil, mozzarella, perfection!
The Gelato was out of this world too!!!! Rich and creamy! So fun to work with others, and with our family making something to eat and share! If you are looking for a unique experience to give you true credibility with your group, family and/or friends - this is truly a HOME RUN EXPERIENCE!!!! This will be a story of yours told for years to come!!!
Try to get Chef Simone, you would be so happy you did!!!!! He's great with kids, adults, those who can't stir, and those who think they can! LOL!!!! Super fun!!!! Enjoy yourself and have fun!!!! When in Rome .
