Chef Andrea Marchesin Leads The Way For Toscana Divino Hospitality Group

Haute Living: What is your favorite part of cooking?

Chef Andrea Marchesin: My favorite part of cooking is being able to work with local, simple ingredients and transform them into extraordinary dishes. When our guests can experience something like a simple vegetable in a new and improved way, it enhances the flavor of that ingredient and creates a memorable experience for the person.
