“This is another favourite and my signature dish as a 2017 MasterChef Contestant. I still can’t believe I was chosen to be in the Top 24 for MasterChef Australia. Gnocchi is very close to my heart. It was the dish that intrigued me as a child with its pillowy shape, and light and delicious taste. It was a dish I knew I had to create and master! I cannot count how many times I’ve created gnocchi but my variations are endless. It’s hard to pen an exact recipe as your fingers are the best guide to creating the perfect gnocchi. But I promise it’s not as scary as you think!” - Pia Gava
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
In this fun and hands-on class, Chef Instructor Pia shares her favourite and signature dish as MasterChef Contestant from Season 9, a luscious Gorgonzola Gnocchi with mushroom, spinach and parmesan crisps!

WHO WILL HOST THIS EVENT:
Your host this evening will be Food Ambassador, Cookbook Author and Season 9 MasterChef Australia contestant Pia Gava. The experience of being a MasterChef Australia 2017 contestant had confirmed Pia Gava’s food passion. Pia’s food memories are strongly kept alive today, with recipes like her signature gnocchi dishes, homemade pasta, special occasion sweet treats and of course comfort food. She also wants to share her passion so everyone can have the same experience. Following the MasterChef experience Pia had work experience at Om Nom dessert bar in Melbourne and knew this food path had to continue. Pia had completed collating and writing family recipes and successfully self-published her first cookbook ‘Pia’s Table’ in August 2018 which celebrates history, tradition, food and family. Pia shares many family stories, her MasterChef signature gnocchi dish, pasta tips as well as many other family dishes that can be achieved by all. Given the cookbook's success, Pia has commenced researching and collating for her second cookbook which will have a more modern and seasonal theme. Pia continues to share her passion for Italian food and cooking through hosting cooking classes, cooking demonstrations and food events.
