Taught 1985 students
Chef Leo’s culinary journey began in 2013 when he helped organize Food Revolution
Day in Caracas, Venezuela, part of chef Jamie Oliver’s global initiative. This experience ignited Leo’s passion for cooking, which grew as he explored Venezuelan, Italian, and Spanish cuisines, embracing their rich traditions and flavors. In 2014, Leo launched Canela Cuisine, where he fused Italian techniques—such as handmade pasta—with the bold flavors of Venezuelan and Spanish dishes. His collaboration with Arepas Cafe led to the popular Arepa Experience, where he
taught others to make authentic Venezuelan arepas, while also honing his skills in
classic Spanish dishes like paella and tapas. Through various roles in NYC’s food scene, Leo mastered every aspect of the restaurant world, refining his expertise in Italian, Venezuelan, and Spanish cuisine.

We had so much fun and learned so much! Leonardo was patient and a wonderful teacher. The butter sage sauce was delicious and a recipe we will be using in our own meals.

This was my first time doing a cooking class! I had fun and learned new things. Chef Leonardo did a good job at explaining the ingredients and process. I wish we had a choice for pizza toppings (hahaha) but I had a great time.

This was the first time my partner and I experienced doing a cook class and this class was the perfect introduction to it. Chef Leonardo’s instructions were clear with each step which had me surprised because I didn’t know how much preparation it took into making ravioli 😭. It was worth it though because when we got to cook it in the end, it was very yummy. Most def will book a class again!

We had a great experience with Leonardo. He is very friendly and went around showing everyone step-by-step details and answered any questions anyone had. He made the class fun, easy and lighthearted.
