New AspenPointe Café Chef Brings Right Ingredients for Training Program
Posted 04/28/2011
One might say Peter Aiello was destined to be a chef. He started waking up before his parents when he was 7 years old and making French toast in the mornings. It was then that the seeds were planted for what has become a 35-year love affair with food.
“I have a passion for cooking,” Aiello said. “I start talking about food and my eyes light up.” And while Aiello’s eyes are lighting up, his customers' mouths are usually watering.
Aiello is the new operations manager for AspenPointe Café. With diverse training that includes fine dining, wild game, professional pastry school and northern Italian cuisine, Aiello has mastered his own unique style that allows him to create dishes like the one he prepared for the Tri Lakes Cares fundraiser April 25.
Given a box of food that families in need receive that included Velveeta cheese, pinto beans, powdered milk, potato flakes, corn flakes and canned peaches, Aiello designed an entrée that was the talk of the night: mini-pork tenderloin sandwiches topped with pinto bean and rosemary mouse and creamy tomatillo sauce served with a peach jicama salad.
Our Operations Manager/Chef Peter Aiello has 35 years of hands-on management & culinary expertise in fine dining restaurants, full service hotels, country clubs, conference centers and corporate catering. An established Ice Carver and Pastry Chef, he has undergone rigorous testing with the American Culinary Federation to achieve the level of Certified Executive Chef and Certified Executive Pastry Chef. He oversees our food services training program, contract meals and dining operations. We are thrilled to have his expertise!
