Exceptional, World-Renowned Cuisine

The DaVinci Master Chefs are celebrated chefs from around the world who have found The Center for Discovery primarily through Chef Cesare Casella, Chief of DNA – Food and Farming.  Years ago, Chef Casella brought several colleagues who were awed by the use of fresh food as a therapeutic tool, to The Center.  They immediately asked to get involved and the The DaVinci Master Chefs were born.

Each year, guest chefs come to The Center to teach their recipes based on the products from our Thanksgiving Farm to The Center’s own residential chefs.  Our chefs learn the recipes and take them back to the residences to prepare the dishes in our very own kitchens.  Our residents then experience the culinary excellence designed by these master chefs, giving them a literal taste of the finest cuisine these world-renowned chefs have to offer.
