When is the latest I can enroll in a class?

Enrollment will stay open until the last minute. However, for the best experience, we recommend enrolling at least 24 hours in advance - and even further in advance if you need extra time to shop for ingredients. Additionally, important instructions will be sent out the day before each class.

What if I miss a live cooking class or have to leave early?

Everyone who signs up will have access to the video recording within 24 hours of the live class. That way you can watch the replay (and cook) whenever is most convenient for you.

How does it work? Do I need a special program to participate?

Important class communications will be sent out via email.

What ingredients do I need?
​The key ingredients for gnocchi are simple: flour (I use '00' (double zero) - the very fine one), butter, and Parmesan cheese. The sauce is made with leeks, peas, pancetta/bacon (optional), and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A full ingredient list is provided in your confirmation email.
