Team Building Activity: Lively Pasta-Making Competition
Ignite the spirit of competition as you learn to put your own spin on rich Italian dishes in this team building activity with Chef Desmond. Your team will get hands-on as they craft a traditional Italian meal, learning tricks of the trade all the way.
Break up into small groups and begin by making a juicy tomato and basil bruschetta before the main event. Excitement will rise as groups come together to craft their own pasta dough, shape it and serve it in a sauce of their own unique creation. Dishes will be judged on creative flair, presentation and overall taste. In the end, everyone will get to enjoy plenty of pasta and sweet lemon-y desserts. Your team will thank you later!

Chef Desmond loves using inventive methods to teach others about food and nutrition. He’s even created educational rap lyrics on the subject! He holds a master's degree in nutritional studies from Cambridge, has co-created several textbooks and is currently working his own cookbook. He’s also been featured in print and television, including "Best Leftovers Ever" on Netflix. Chef Desmond is excited to share his creative energy with aspiring chefs of all skill levels.
