Very versatile with the ability to take on the flavor of added goodness creating mouthwatering meals that will become favorites in your family’s dinner rotation. This may just sound too good to be true. Not only is this all true, but gnocchi are even simpler to make than other fresh pasta options! During this fun filled class, participants will learn how to create these little morsels of goodness, and then turn them into a scrumptious meal the instructor has created called Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi with Chicken, and make a wonderful loaf of fresh bread as well! Have some fun participating in this virtual Cook-Along class as we dive into the world of gnocchi! Follow along step-by-step, with our wonderful instructor as she guides you through the simple pleasure of creating these delicious tender bites of goodness. Then follow along and create a wonderful meal with them that will have your family asking for more! Make it a date night or family night as you create lasting memories in your kitchen! Have your questions answered by the instructor, interact with other participants as you cook along, and increase your confidence in the kitchen with each skill that is learned, and each little bit of advice and instruction that is shared. While cooking-along is loads of fun, it is optional. Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep. A professionally made PDF of the Instructors Personal Recipes from this class will also be received.

A Culinary Artist indeed! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through Community Education for a number of years having successfully worked with just over 50 public school districts in and around the Twin Cities and in many corners of Minnesota. Through her teaching, Tess has helped people of all skill levels increase their confidence and expand their skills in the kitchen reaching heights of their own personal creativity that they never new existed! Always working towards expanding her culinary repertoire, Tess enjoys spending much of her free time in her test kitchen creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones using traditional cooking methods and new cooking appliances such as, the Instant Pot® and Air Fryers too.
