Marco Carandino has been appointed as Pastry Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Prague
Chef Giovanni Marco Carandino, a native from Palermo, Sicily, brings over a decade of experience and an undeniable passion for sweet Italian flavours to Four Seasons Hotel Prague.
One of his first confectionery projects at Four Seasons Hotel Prague is a special "Love is Sweet" Valentine's Day Afternoon Tea with a selection of desserts showcasing his creativity and skills he mastered at the famous Italian School Boscolo Etoile Academy. A lover of all things with chocolate, Chef Gianmarco enjoys making pralines along with creating artistic show pieces.
In addition to the Afternoon Tea, Chef Gianmarco has already re-invented the a la carte menu at CottoCrudo restaurant with five new desserts including a modern twist on traditional tiramisu, a creamy carrot cake or beton apple tartlet with extra virgin olive oil ice cream.
Prior to moving to Prague, he worked at Four Seasons Hotel Florence for eight years, eventually managing the pastry team at the Michelin-distinguished Il Palagio restaurant. Although Gianmarco, as he is called by the team, initially started in savoury kitchens, he was quick to realize that life is "sweeter" in the world of pastries.
