I had a great time doing the Gnocchi class with Silvana. It was an online class - the technology all worked fine - and it was only me so I had 1-1 tuition and was very happy with the result! She talked me through all the steps and the final gnocchi product was delicious. She also gave me instructions on a bunch of other recipes for sauces which would go with the gnocchi. I loved it and would definitely recommend.
