Step into a warm, inviting kitchen in Baltimore and embark on a hands-on journey into the art of gnocchi-making. Begin with a beautifully curated cheeseboard featuring a selection of Italian and French cheeses, setting the stage for the evening’s flavors.
Under your chef’s guidance, craft classic Italian gnocchi using traditional techniques to create light, pillowy dumplings.

Serve your Parisian gnocchi with a silky butternut squash purée and garlic shrimp sautéed in brown butter. Compare both styles, appreciating the contrast in textures and flavors.
