Calling all foodies and pasta lovers! If you want to tap into your inner Nonna and get creative in the kitchen, mark your calendars because this August, Catlin on Magill and Gastronomo Dining are hosting a Gnocchi Day—a three-hour cooking class where you’ll learn the art of this Italian favourite, uncovering the expert tips and techniques so you can be a pro-pasta maker in no time.
Guiding you through this cooking journey is Gastronomo Creative Director Nick Hannaford—a culinary expert with a passion for sharing his knowledge and love for food and who has over 25 years of experience in creating immersive hospitality and five-star dining experiences.
Kicking off at 1 pm, the cooking class will take place at Catlin Wines on Magill—an intimate and cosy venue that will make you feel right at home as you mingle with other food enthusiasts and share your love for Italian cuisine.
During this immersive cooking afternoon, you’ll learn the simple art of making gnocchi from scratch and discover how easy and enjoyable it can be—especially when sharing the experience with friends and enjoying a glass of Catlin Wines (to two) during the process! Nick will debunk the myth that gnocchi recipes are daunting and encourage you to cook with confidence and intuition—rather than relying solely on a step-by-step recipe.
Throughout this class, you’ll not only get over your gnocchi-making fear, but you’ll discover the expert secrets behind selecting the best ingredients, learn how to achieve the perfect dough consistency and create gnocchi with that ideal, pillowy texture we all crave and experience at our favourite Italian restaurants. Get ready to don your apron, roll up your sleeves, and get your hands floury as you create your own little gnocchi masterpieces.
Once you’ve completed your gnocchi-making adventure, it’ll be time to kick back and indulge in the joys of your hard work. Catlin Wines will provide a complimentary glass of vino to compliment your meal of freshly made gnocchi and homemade rosa sauce, enhancing your tasting experience and leaving you with a sense of satisfaction from perfectly matched flavours.
As a special thank you for joining the event, you’ll receive a copy of the gnocchi recipe—allowing you to recreate this delightful dish in the comfort of your own kitchen—and get to take home a jar of Gastronomo’s signature pasta sauce, ensuring that you can savour the flavours of Gnocchi Day even after the event is over.
Spaces for this fun-filled event are limited, so booking is essential. Gather your crew of fellow food lovers, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn, laugh, and feast whilst enjoying an afternoon of delicious Italian flavours.
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, Gnocchi Day at Catlin on Magill promises to be an enjoyable experience for everyone. Say goodbye to premade store-bought gnocchi and get ready for a culinary adventure you won’t forget!
When: Saturday August 26th, 1 pm-4 pm
