Surely the only thing better than sitting down to a big bowl of gnocchi is having the skills to make it yourself, any time you like. Or you could enjoy the best of both worlds at one of 48h's monthly gnocchi making workshops.

You'll be welcomed to the pizza and gnocchi bar's South Yarra outpost with a coffee before you're handed your apron and put to work. You'll learn the art of making the dough, shaping the gnocchi and cooking it from the restaurant's Italian head chefs. Then you'll get to take it home to impress your friends/partner/mum with for Sunday lunch.

And of course, you can't have a culinary masterclass without some good old-fashioned food appreciation, so you and your fellow gnocchi students will also sit down to a lunch of prepared-earlier gnocchi and a glass of wine.

The morning's activities will set you back $89 — which not only includes your gnocchi and newfound skills, but a goodie bag with all the ingredients you need to make it from scratch at home.
