About this tour
This call talks through gnocchi alla sorrentina from my own kitchen, focusing on the potato technique that decides whether the shape holds together. We cover the tomato sauce and the final bake with mozzarella, with time for your own questions throughout. It is a cooking conversation rather than a filmed walk.
We talk over Google Meet while I work through the method at my own pace, taking questions as they come up rather than following a fixed script. Afterwards I send a short note with the method written out.
This suits anyone who wants to actually cook the dish rather than only watch it made. It also works well booked alongside a walking session in town.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
