At Henry and the Fox, we’re obsessed with food. Great ingredients, thoughtful technique, and the joy of sharing a meal are at the heart of everything we do—and this hands-on gnocchi masterclass is no exception.
Join our chefs for a relaxed and interactive cooking experience where you’ll learn how to make traditional potato gnocchi from scratch. Working in pairs at your own station, you’ll discover the techniques that transform simple ingredients into the soft, pillowy dumplings that have made gnocchi a staple of Northern Italian kitchens.
During the class, our chef will guide you through selecting the right floury potatoes, roasting them to control moisture, and gently forming the dough so the gnocchi stay light and delicate. You’ll then shape, cook, and finish your handmade gnocchi with a rich, creamy sundried tomato pesto sauce, topped with pangrattato – Italy’s famous toasted breadcrumb garnish that adds crunch and depth of flavour.
Once the cooking is complete, sit back and enjoy the dish you’ve created together with a glass of wine or prosecco, finishing the experience with a chocolate cannoli.
Perfect for couples, friends, or family members cooking together, this class is designed to be fun, relaxed, and full of practical techniques you can take home to your own kitchen.

Hi, we’re the team behind Henry and the Fox – a modern, light-filled restaurant tucked into the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Our space brings together a love for seasonal, European-inspired food with a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes people feel right at home – whether it’s a corporate lunch, a long Friday afternoon, or a hands-on masterclass.
What makes Henry and the Fox special isn’t just the food – it’s the people. From our chefs to our floor team, everyone here shares a deep passion for great hospitality. We believe food tastes better when it’s made with intention, and experiences are more memorable when they’re shared with heart. That’s why we’ve created an atmosphere that’s not just about dining, but about connecting.
Our masterclasses are an extension of what we do every day – creating fresh, thoughtful dishes that showcase quality ingredients and bold, comforting flavours. Led by our Executive Chef Malcolm Williams and his talented team, these sessions are about more than just technique. They're about stories, creativity, and giving people the confidence to cook like a pro – while having a good time doing it.
Over the years, we’ve worked with everyone from city locals and curious foodies to big-name brands looking for unique team-building experiences. Whether you're here to master pasta, perfect your knife skills, or just sip wine while you cook, you’ll be welcomed like a regular and guided by a team that genuinely loves what they do.
Henry and the Fox is more than a restaurant. It’s a space built on passion, personality, and a shared love of food. We can’t wait to cook with you.
