She came, she taught, she matched the menu. Robert's friend Marietta Sisca came to class to show us a thing or two about making gnocchi. She arrived wearing a purple sweater and white pearls just as the radicchio chicetti were spooned onto plates with sweet and sour cippolini onions and porcini stuffing. While snacking on chicetti, we watched as she demonstrated kneading, rolling, cutting and rolling the dough again with verve. Gnocchi is only potato, flour and salt, so one must arrive otherwise equipped for success: With common sense, a big heart and a flair for rolling the little buggers, all of which Marietta has in abundance.
