Taught 2093 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.

Leo was awesome!! Had a great time hosting my bday at the class. Although we didn’t get a chance to bring out the cake it was a great time with the conversation and cooking tips. Would definitely come back!

Leo was a fantastic teacher! He explained every step of the cooking process so clearly. The tiramisu was incredible, and I can't wait to make it at home. On the downside, the 2.5 to 3-hour class was held on the terrace and got freezing, even with extra layers on. The pizza could also have used a bit more sauce and cheese (or was slightly overbaked). Overall, though, Leo was exceptional and made the class a great experience!

Chose this location for my team's outing and we had a great experience. Class was interactive and super informative- thanks to a great instructor. The outdoor space (was enclosed so not cold) was all ours to use and we were able to easily order from the bar. Will be recommending to our other teams for their events.

Chef Leonardo was great. The pizza came out delicious, just not very hot and the Tiramisu was a wonderful desert. Everything was so easy to make! Only reason for 4 stars was the venue was cold and there was no heat available. Which made things just slightly less enjoyable.

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.
