Meet your chef instructor
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.
