Team Building Activity: Fiesta Flavors Cooking Competition
Spice up your workday with this fiesta-like team building activity led by Chef Denis. Culinary expert Chef Denis will teach your team an array of valuable cooking tips and techniques including recipes for perfect homemade guacamole and salsa. After that, your team will split into groups for some friendly (or feisty) competition!
Chef Denis will provide your team with a tantalizing array of mix-in ingredients so that groups can come up with their own guacamole or salsa creation. Team players, natural leaders and problem solvers will use their strengths to get creative and compete for the win. The winning dish will be judged on creativity, appearance and overall taste. Everyone will get to enjoy some laid-back fun as they bond with their peers, and everyone will enjoy a delicious dipping feast!

Chef Denis was outstanding. He taught my wife and I so many things about the culinary world that I'm sure we'll probably forget anyway. However, we won't forget how lovely the night was while we chatted, cooked, and simply enjoyed each others' company for the few hours he was with us. Oh! And the food! Magnificent. We ordered the French meal, and he made for us the best couscous dish I've ever had. Of course, he had us help, but it was all under his control and tutelage. Thanks, Chef. You made my wife's 40th Birthday that much more special!
