Team Building Activity: Who's the Next Iron Chef?

In this hands-on team building activity hosted by Chef Ivan, your team will engage in a riveting cooking competition to determine who's the next iron chef! First, your group will be divided into two teams. Then, each team will receive a basket with a main ingredient — pork, chicken or salmon — and two surprise ingredients that must be used. Next, the teams will put their culinary and teamwork skills to the test with one hour and 30 minutes to prepare and plate their final dishes. Throughout the challenge, Chef Ivan will be available to both teams to assist with questions about tools and techniques. After time's up, you'll share your creations!

Attending the cooking class during my visit to New York was one of my highlights from the trip. It was a small intimate class and the chef did a great job of explaining tips and processes for cooking. I highly recommend it.

10/10 recommend this pasta workshop 101! My friend and I decided to join the class as a part of our NY trip! Amazing vibes from the Chef and delicious food. I believe Chef mentioned the recipes would be emailed to us sometime after the class. Can’t wait to try to make the pasta for my family at home!
