Favorites from Nostrana with Cathy Whims

In Good Taste Cooking School: Cathy Whims cooks Nostrana Favorites

Cathy Whims has been serving classic Italian fare to Portland diners for years, and she is dedicated to marrying Italian culinary tradition with the fresh and local foods of the Northwest. Her newest restaurant venture, Nostrana, was named Restaurant of the Year by the Oregonian. Previously, under Cathy's guidance as Executive Chef and co-owner, Genoa gained national recognition.

Nostrana features potato gnocchi every Thursday for lunch and dinner, as is the custom in Rome. Don’t miss this rare chance to learn how to make perfectly fluffy homemade gnocchi and a variety of accompanying sauces.

This class will feature Gene Thiel of Prairie Creek Farm in Joseph, Oregon who supplies fabulous organic potatoes to Portland's best restaurants and represented Slow Food Portland at the Terra Madre convention at the Slow Food Salone in Torino in 2004.
