Team Building Activity: Authentic Italian Feast
A local chef will show your team how to make classic Italian dishes in this team building activity!
To start the meal, make crispy arancini with a creamy mozzarella and saffron center. Next, learn the time-honored technique to mix and knead pasta dough and cut it into noodles. As the pasta boils, make an earthy mushroom truffle cream sauce to pair with the fresh pasta. On the side, enjoy a refreshing arugula salad topped with a zesty lemon vinaigrette and ribbons of shaved Parmesan cheese. Finally, end the meal with a decadent tiramisu with layers of mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers and cocoa powder for dessert. You and your team will work together, cooking side by side before enjoying a feast together. Secure your spot in this team building activity today!

A team building experience is a great way to bring a group together in a fun, engaging, and collaborative environment. The activity encourages communication, creativity, and teamwork. The hands-on format allows everyone to actively participate, regardless of skill level. Chef Sayeh and her team are professional, enthusiastic, and skilled at guiding the group. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun! Highly recommended!
