Vegetarian Dinner Cooking Class in Verona: Make Gnocchi & Pasta

You make four dishes from scratch, not watch a demonstration.

A vegetarian dinner cooking class in Verona where you prepare gnocchi, handmade pasta, vegetable skewers and a Lake Garda dessert under Aurora's instruction, then sit at her table to eat everything you made with local wine. The class runs 3.5 hours in her home and suits anyone who wants to cook, not observe, no experience needed.

The experience

Three and a half hours in Aurora's home kitchen means you spend the evening making, not watching. You'll form potato gnocchi by hand, roll and cut Verona pasta, thread seasonal vegetables onto skewers, and prepare San Vigilini, a typical Lake Garda dessert with raisins. Each dish uses fresh, locally sourced vegetables. Aurora guides you through the techniques, and the recipes are simple enough to recreate at home once you leave.

After the cooking, you move to Aurora's table and eat the four dishes you just made together, sharing stories over a glass of local wine. Drinks are provided, though you're welcome to bring your own bottle. The evening blends the work of cooking with the ease of a shared meal: the kind of recipe knowledge that sticks because you made it with your hands, not read it in a book.

What’s included

• Vegetarian recipes that work for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
