Hi, I am a girl who is obsessed with gnocchi.  As the granddaughter of an Italian immigrant and esteemed chef, I have been privy to the best gnocchi in the world since I was able to properly pronounce ‘gnocchi’.  I simply cannot get enough of it; as such, I have chosen to document my continued and unrelenting journey to find the best gnocchi, a gnocchi that rivals my grandfather’s, a gnocchi that both maintains it’s pillowy structure on a dish but successfully melts in a buttery, sagey, tomatoey abyss once it reaches your mouth.  I have enlisted my mother, “mom”, to help as we journey from restaurant to trattoria to bistro to everything in between in search of the perfect gnocchi dish; she too is a gnocchi aficionado as well as an excellent cook and daughter of said chef grandfather and like me, she never turns down the opportunity to order gnocchi when it’s offered on any menu (be it Italian or otherwise).  Together we will find the best gnocchi in the world and trust me, it’s no small feat…
