Discover a fantastic new comfort food and experience one of the best activities in San Francisco with this Italian cooking class!
In this class, you’ll learn how to make Sardinian gnocchi, a delicious twist on the classic dish. Unlike traditional gnocchi, which is made with potato, Sardinian gnocchi is crafted from semolina flour, resulting in pasta-like parcels that are perfectly light and flavorful. A brilliant local chef will guide you through the process, providing demonstrations and sharing insider tips along the way.
From shaping the dough to making the perfect sauce, you’ll get hands-on experience at every stage of the gnocchi-making process. Once your masterpiece is complete, you’ll get to sit back, relax, and enjoy your delicious creation. You’ll leave the class with the skills to recreate this dish at home and impress your friends and family with your newfound cooking expertise.
Perfect for a memorable date night in SF or a unique team-building activity, this cooking class is the perfect way to dive into Italian cuisine and have fun while doing it!

Recent reviews of Italian Cooking Class: Sardinian Gnocchi

  • 5/5 from Emily Gess, attended Oct 2026: James was a great teacher and really made an effort to go above and beyond. From the beginning of the class, he made us feel comfortable in his home with a lovely ambiance and such a great energy.
  • 5/5 from Alinanna Wright, attended Oct 2026: Our group of 5 gals had the BEST time with Chef James. We were a very chatty bunch and he found the perfect balance between us being hands-on and letting us catch up. The gnocchi was delicious, the appetizers at the beginning were a really lovely touch. What a beautiful home - such a pleasure to be invited in.
  • 5/5 from Brittany Rayman, attended Oct 2026: I enjoyed the experience cooking with James. I would return for another class. And I will be making the gnocchi at home.
  • 5/5 from Kristina Wegner, attended Sep 2026: I booked James when I saw a tiktok show up on my fyp of someone else’s experience and immediately knew this was how I wanted to spend my birthday. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing! I brought 8 gfs and we had the BEST time. The apps, the cooking experience, the dinner and dessert (and overall experience) is something we will always cherish. Highly recommend going to cook with James!
  • 5/5 from Amy Guillet, attended Mar 2026: James is a great host. Had a charcuterie board out for us. Didn’t feel rushed. Besides the gnocchi, he made a farmer market fresh salad and dessert for us to enjoy. Definitely would do another class with him.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Huang, attended Jan 2026: I attended this class with my team and we had such a great time! James created an amazing experience for us - from the appetizers, to the pasta making, and to the dinner. It was a lot of fun learning how to make the pasta and also nice everyone got to try out a different step in the process. I have already been to one of James's other classes so all of them have been great! Would highly recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Angie Cupas, attended Aug 2025: Perhaps most importantly, the class wasn’t *too* labor-intensive, but it was still instructive and inclusive. It was just a lovely, relaxed, and social atmosphere. I’ll definitely take another class. Cheers to you, James!
  • 5/5 from Shane Caldwell, attended Aug 2025: We had a great time and met some great people. We made new friends and exchanged contacts. Definitely worth it!
  • 5/5 from Landon Young, attended Apr 2025: Loved our time with Chef James! What a great way to learn a new skill!
  • 5/5 from Grace Wu, attended Mar 2025: Excellent class, Chef James taught us a lot about the techniques to make both the sauce and gnocchi and also prepared a bright zesty salad and cheesecake dessert for the group dinner at the end of class. The class taking place at his home is so unique and it was fun talking to the other guests. The class size is small. 7 total students. Had a great time and will bring family and friends to try James’s other classes.
  • 5/5 from April Myers, attended Sep 2024: James' class was great! James is very knowledgeable and provided lots of information about the excellent food. We had lots of fun chatting with the other students. I would definitely take another Cooking with James class and recommend them to others.
  • 5/5 from Giordana Rock, attended Aug 2024: James was so accommodating, welcoming, and had a beautiful home for the gnocchi making course. We started with appetizers while we got set up, and it was so fun and delicious.
  • 5/5 from Heather Randol, attended Jul 2024: We had a wonderful time with James learning how to make gnocchi! We each were able to do hands-on work. You can do as much or as little as you like. He explained and demonstrated each step with care. He shared where he purchased the fresh and delicious ingredients. He had a wonderful spread of cheese, truffle salami and pâté for us when we arrived as well. Dinner was served in his beautiful home at the dining table where we enjoyed our meal and chatted with the other attendees. Overall it was an excellent experience and we feel confident we can make this again at home!!
  • 5/5 from Deanna van Buren, attended Jul 2024: We Loved cookin' with James. It was just the right amount of convo, cooking and conversation. His home is lovely and he is a great host with a lot of culinary knowledge!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Mayerson, attended Feb 2024: We had a team cooking class with Chef James and it was amazing! Everyone had a blast and was raving about the food. James' house is also incredible! We definitely recommend taking this cooking class and would come back in a heartbeat!
  • 5/5 from William Xiao, attended Sep 2023: James was great - we made a delicious meal in his cozy home! Would definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Bhavin Patel, attended Aug 2023: Chef James hosted a fun and engaging evening for our friends - he educated us on farmers to buy produce from, had simple and easy recipes to cook from, and cooked with us a delicious meal!
  • 5/5 from Glen Fisher, attended Sep 2022: A wonderful experience - James was great to work with and provided an engaging (and delicious) experience for my team of 10 colleagues. Jame's hospitality, hands-on teaching and the venue (a turn-of the-century Edwardian home) made it feel like we were visiting a friend's home for dinner! Will definitely do it again and recommend to others.
  • 5/5 from Amanda Priest, attended Feb 2022: Chef James was the best! We prepared a delicious gnocchi in his adorable kitchen. He provided delicious nosh to start before we dove right in. He was super interesting and fun, would highly recommend anyone check out his classes :) they're well worth it!

Cook With James

5.0 (132)

James grew up on a 50 acre horse farm near the Salinas Valley. His great grandfather emigrated from Yugoslavia into the Central Valley and started an apple farm. His grandfather later moved to the very fertile Salinas Valley and started one of the first produce companies. It was called Sun Harvest. My mother raised us mostly on local fruits and vegetables though there was still the occasional cooking “out of a can” given the generation. Canned beets! The one thing we always had was a bowl of fresh fruit, cut up and put into a bowl for us before we went to bed.
James earned a masters in Spanish literature and linguistics through Middlebury College and lived in Spain for two years. He later entered into the technology business and worked at various advertising agencies in San Francisco over a 12 year period. Along the way he started cooking as "therapy" for his corporate day job. CookWithJames was created 15 years ago as an underground supper club. James would prepare multiple course regional Italian and Spanish dinners in his home for guests and friends. James staged at Quince restaurant after they opened in 2004, and has also lived and cooked in both Italy and Spain. After leaving his day job in advertising in 2009 James launched CookWithJames as a full-time business, offering private sit-down dinners as well as cooking class parties for all occasions.
