Join Chef Matt in this team building activity where you and your team will learn how to prepare a basic three-course Italian meal requiring only simple preparation while still providing incredibly complex flavor. Your team will work together to construct a basic but delicious Italian salad with a creamy homemade dressing before learning how to prepare gourmet butternut squash gnocchi with guanciale and flavor-packed roasted broccolini with sun-dried tomatoes and hot lemon vinaigrette. Lastly, your Italian cooking team building experience will conclude with a dessert of red wine poached cherries with mascarpone cream.
