At La Chef Levi, our graduates are the most important ambassadors of our work. Since 1989, they have been earning their place in the best kitchens in the world with their value and effort. For us, they are undoubtedly “Stories that inspire”.
Markos Konstantinidis
“Without passion, pastry alone is an art lacking creativity! I attended La Chef Levi’s School where I learned a lot. Competitions, discipline in the kitchen and lots of techniques. That’s where I got my first sweet “slaps”. But the most important things were healthy competition, discipline and the concept of cooperation. These are the basic ingredients that create a solid basis for any good pastry chef.”

Thank you very much.”
