My sister and I had a great time with Chef Landi! We learned a lot about making bolognese sauce and gnocchi from scratch! So much fun!

What a lovely night out to learn how to make a three course meal with Chef Landi! He was so patient and a great teacher. His love for food is contagious as we definitely caught the food bug! It felt like we were in a different country and we had such a great time. The food was also amazing and was even better because we helped make it. Would 10/10 recommend Chef Landi for a fun night out!
