My wife and I recently had the pleasure of attending the Southern Italy on a Plate cooking class at Chef Landi's home in South Philadelphia this weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. From the moment we arrived, Chef Landi made us feel incredibly welcome, sharing stories and insights into the cuisine and culture of Southern Italy, as well as his home country of Albania. Chef Landi’s knowledge of Italian cooking was evident throughout the class. He walked us through each recipe while explaining the techniques, ingredients, and tips that made each dish work perfectly. We began with a Caprese salad for an appetizer, learning how to properly layer the fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, then topping it with homemade pesto and a balsamic glaze. For the entree, we made Potato Gnocchi Bolognese. Step by step, he showed us how to make the Bolognese sauce and then how to roll, cut, and shape the Gnocchi's from scratch. We finished the meal with a Vanilla Crème Brulé, which was exceptional. What really stood out was Chef Landi’s ability to make everyone feel comfortable in the kitchen, whether they were experienced cooks or beginners. He was patient, approachable, and attentive, ensuring that everyone had a great time and left with new culinary knowledge. We highly recommend Chef Landi’s Southern Italy on a Plate class to anyone looking to dive into authentic Italian cuisine. We had a great time. His house fits up to 6 people for a class but there are other options for bigger groups. Thanks Chef!
