Italian cooking has long been rooted in the belief that a few good ingredients, treated with patience and care, are often enough to create something deeply satisfying. Across northern Italy, humble staples like potatoes, rice, mushrooms, butter, tomatoes and aged cheese became the foundation of dishes that were comforting and resourceful - a philosophy known as cucina povera.
In this immersive cookalong, you will prepare two iconic northern Italian dishes entirely from scratch: soft potato gnocchi finished in a slow-cooked tomato sauce, and a mushroom risotto enriched with butter, parmesan and porcini mushrooms.
Along the way, you will learn how texture, timing and technique shape these dishes, from handling gnocchi dough to gradually building the signature silkiness of a risotto.
Note: The experience includes egg/eggless options.
