Students in Fernley took part in cooking demonstrations last week led by celebrity chef Michael Toscano through the Chartwells K12 Global Eats program.
Toscano visited Silverland Middle School on April 28 and Fernley High School on April 29, leading demonstrations on Italian cuisine and food preparation.
At Silverland, Toscano led an interactive classroom demonstration on Italian cuisine, focusing on fresh ingredients and global sourcing. He showed students how pasta is made, discussed the role ingredients play in different regions, and demonstrated the Roman dish cacio e pepe. Students asked questions and observed each step of the process.
Toscano also visited the school’s student-run coffee shop, where he shared guidance on operating espresso machines and discussed techniques used in professional settings.
At Fernley High School, more than 250 students attended a larger demonstration in which Toscano prepared a Caprese sandwich and continued highlighting Global Eats: Italy. He spoke about ingredients, sourcing and culinary methods, and met with students afterward.
The Global Eats program brings chefs to schools to introduce students to international cuisines and food preparation.
