Team Building Activity: Farm-to-Table Italian Fare

As you cook with Chef Landi, you'll discover how to enhance the natural flavors of fresh vegetables and fruit while polishing your knife skills. To begin this cooking class, Chef Landi will demonstrate professional techniques for peeling, slicing and dicing vegetables. You'll use those vegetables to craft a minestrone soup brimming Italian herbs and Parmesan. You'll also learn to cook a classic chicken Marsala with pasta you've made by hand.

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!

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.
