Gnocchi making girls trips, in carbs we trust

Low carb? Never heard of her. A weekend that starts with flour up to your elbows at a gnocchi masterclass, carries on with pizza by the river and finishes up on a rooftop, with somewhere to stay for all of you.

Why the girls keep picking gnocchi making

You don’t trust anyone who’s ’not really a bread person’.

Collectively, you’ve never met a carb you didn’t like. Pasta, pizza, garlic bread. So when somebody pitched a weekend that runs entirely on carbs, nobody even pretended to think about it.

Three rolls in there’s flour on every sleeve and at least one gnocchi that looks more like modern art than lunch. Your chef is on hand anyway, so lunch is gnocchi made by someone who knows what they’re doing.

Food has always been how this lot finds its way back to each other, and time with your girls belongs with the essentials, right next to the bread.

The gnocchi you rolled comes home with you, so the carbs keep going long after the weekend does.

What happens on a gnocchi making girls weekend

Flour first, then the whole night.

A gnocchi making girls trip with My Ultimate is a hands on gnocchi masterclass with a chef and lunch, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, dinner and drinks.

  1. Flour on every sleeve.

    A fresh coffee each at a gnocchi bar of exposed brick and wine lined walls, then the chef takes everyone through the secrets of good gnocchi. You’re sharing the class with other food lovers, which only makes your group louder.

  2. Lunch, with a glass of wine.

    The chef whips up a gnocchi pomodoro, and your handmade gnocchi goes home with you to cook, with a goodie bag to make more.

  3. Friends in white robes getting ready together at the bathroom mirror

    Precious cargo.

    The gnocchi goes straight in the fridge at your own Melbourne apartment, beside the drinks. The flour gets dusted off and the setting powder comes out.

  4. Four friends dressed up for the night posing together on a rooftop

    Round two: pizza by the river, then up high.

    Pizzas to share and a glass of bubbly each at a riverfront restaurant, then a bottle of bubbly at a rooftop bar, where somebody raises a glass to the gnocchi.

What kind of girls group gnocchi making suits

Everyone who has never met a carb they did not like.

It works for the friend who reads menus for fun, and for the one who’s never made anything more complicated than toast.

Two friends cheek to cheek and laughing in the apartment living room

The food people.

A masterclass, lunch, pizza and a rooftop. Food is the whole plan.

Zero kitchen skills required.

The chef takes everyone through it, and lunch is made for you anyway.

The long lunch crowd.

A glass of wine with the gnocchi, and nowhere you need to be.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A carb for every year. Probably more.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing breaks the ice like flour on everyone’s sleeves.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

THE LONG LUNCH.

Best part of the weekend.

No one making us leave just when we were having fun. We ordered another bottle and stayed put. Perfect.

We're mums. We're wives. We're single. We're divorced. We're executives. We're exhausted. We're not exhausted. We're all completely different.

But we're still the girls who have known each other for 20 years.

This weekend felt like making space for that part of our lives again.

Loved every second.

Jade C., 45

Booking a cooking class, or a whole girls weekend

Same gnocchi, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups book a cooking class and have a lovely morning. Then everyone’s on the footpath holding a container of gnocchi, working out what’s next and who’s heading home.

A gnocchi girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, pizza by the river and a rooftop already lined up after the class, so the carbs carry on all day.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, gnocchi safely in the fridge.
