---DETAILS---

In this practical, skills-focused class, you’ll master three Italian staples that celebrate comfort and versatility. Learn how to bring out the deep, earthy flavour of wild mushrooms in a creamy risotto; knead, roll, and cook pillowy gnocchi served with a nutty brown butter and sage sauce; and transform polenta into golden Roman-style squares topped with cavolo nero. As always, the focus is on techniques – tasting, adjusting, and trusting your senses – so you can adapt these dishes to any season or occasion.
