Gnocchi and More, with Job Yacubian

Do you love gnocchi but have been a bit intimidated to make it at home? Or if you have tried, has it ended up heavy or the wrong texture? Join Chef Job Yacubian of The Farmer’s Wife in Ancramdale and Millbrook, NY as he leads a hands-on quest to create the perfect, Italian repast, including gnocchi. Job’s recipe avoids the finicky potato version and instead focus on more user-friendly (and delicious!) ricotta based gnocchi. This classic Italian dish will be complimented with a flavor-packed menu of Italian-inspired delights.

Menu:

Asparagus Wrapped with Speck Ham
Crostini of Roasted Cauliflower with Raddichio, Picholine, Olive and White Bean Puree
Goat Cheese & Ricotta Gnocchi with Rapini Pesto and Pecorino
Sautéed Rapini with Garlic, Lemon and Chile Flakes

This hands-on class is limited to 12 people.

About Chef Job Yacubian:

Job Yacubian grew up on a horse farm in Massachusetts. With a father who was a hunter and fisher, everything from scallops and quahogs to venison and wild duck found its way to the family table.

Along the way he had the honor of working with some of New York City’s great chefs: Daniel Boulud, Rocco DiSpirito, David Bouley and Marco Canora. Today he’s the chef of the much-beloved Farmers Wife, Café and catering operation in Ancramdale and Millbrook.
