Team Building Activity: Authentic Italian-American Fare
Join Chef Landi for a team building activity creating an authentic Italian-American meal from scratch. Chef Landi will teach you new kitchen skills, creative recipes and how to add gourmet flair to any dish. First, you’ll learn to cook either potato and leek soup with crab and truffle oil or a grilled Caesar salad with romaine and bacon. Then, you’ll make potato gnocchi from scratch to serve with a traditional creamy tomato vodka sauce. For dessert, you will learn how to make a pillowy soufflé with your choice of chocolate or pineapple.

This class was great! Chef Landi showed us some great preparation and cooking techniques that we will use in the future. His menu that he created and the flavors he added were amazing. One of the best meals I have had with great company from Chef Landi who shared with us his many life experiences that has made him a great chef. Can’t wait to go back!

This was a fun event! We went with my parents and thoroughly enjoyed Chef Landi and learning to make the pasta! It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere. There was only one thing (hence the minus one star). We were hoping to learn more about making the sauce as well but while we were cutting the pasta Chef was making the sauce himself so we weren’t able to learn much for the and for the price I would think that would be included. Otherwise, so much fun and a good time had by all!

Chef Landi began his culinary career many decades ago as a restaurant server in Italy. His passion for food led to a career with rapid growth as he quickly became confident in the kitchen, learning classical Italian culinary training. Upon relocating to the U.S. in 2001, Chef Landi channeled his culinary passions and valuable skills into a profession of culinary instruction. A highly-respected chef and instructor, Chef Landi is certainly someone to learn from.
