Delicious Gnocchi and Tiramisu Cooking Lesson

The gnocchi and tiramisu cooking lesson was a tasty introduction to both traditional Italian cooking and independence in the kitchen. Students from the Piazza Navona and Trestevere residences worked together to prepare the meal under the expert guidance of Simona (the student service coordinator). Our conversation mixed with the fragrances of the simmering tomato sauce and freshly ground coffee. We finely diced the market fresh vegetables and then learned how to make the gnocchi dough from scratch.

After a few minor spills and miscracked eggs, we shaped the noodles by hand and assembled the multi-tiered tiramisu. The meal was a great success. We ended the night with stories and the heavenly taste of tiramisu.
