TWO BROTHERS inspired by Michelin-starred chefs Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White are set to wow the crowds with a live cookery demonstration of their Italian cuisine this weekend.    

Darren and Jason Orsi, of Fat Toni’s Pizzeria, will take centre stage for the latest in a series of live cookery demonstrations at the Five Valleys Shopping Centre in Stroud.

The duo will be serving up their New York-style sourdough pizzas from the demo kitchen, which can be found in a dedicated space next door to The Artisan Baker, on Sunday from noon.

This will be the second in a series of live cookery demonstrations throughout November and December in the lead up to Christmas.

The event follows on from an appearance by Jack Knight last Sunday, who wowed the crowds with his seared scallops and pork medallions wrapped in bacon.

Darren Orsi, co-owner of Fat Toni’s Pizzeria, said: “We believe in good quality pizza for a low cost, all produced fresh from the oven using only the best ingredients and our signature dough and sauce recipes.

food.”

Jason trained under Michelin-starred chefs Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, while Darren has made frequent visits to Lucca, a province of the wine rich region of North Tuscany, to gain inspiration for their recipes.

Centre Manager at Five Valleys, Jack Simpson, said: “This will be the second of our live cookery demonstrations, following on from the fantastic success of our launch event last Sunday, and this will be a real treat for pizza fans. 

"The event is also a chance to pick up some culinary inspiration to take home and use in the kitchen.

"We’re inviting everyone to come on down and enjoy this fantastic demonstration of authentic Italian cooking.

“The events, which will be held on most Sundays leading up to Christmas, will provide the perfect opportunity for our wonderful artisan producers to showcase their products and share their knowledge."

Future cookery demonstrations will be delivered by Thai2Go with Armadeli guiding people on how to put together the perfect cheeseboard.
