Gather your crew for a unique team building activity with Chef Dan. Together, everyone will learn authentic Italian cooking techniques as they prepare timeless recipes. Learning new skills will invigorate their creative thinking and help strengthen the team bond.
Your team will begin by toasting garlic crostini to be topped with zesty herbed cheese and traditional Italian salami. Next, they’ll work together to prepare a mouthwatering baked zucchini stuffed with fresh tomatoes, onions and tangy goat cheese. They’ll enjoy an expertly-cooked chicken breast simmering in a rich wine-based sauce. The chicken will be served over a savory, aromatic bed of Milanese-style rice. For dessert, they’ll indulge in the chef’s favorite: decadent chocolate tiramisu parfait.

No direction in the beginning, no microphone so it was difficult to hear, only one food station and it was not ready so there was a lot of waiting and a VERY long line. Venue was freezing cold inside, had to wear a winter coat the entire time. Tables were set with 5 seats, guests had to rearrange so that they could sit 4 or 6. Not enough supplies for the number of people, had to share sushi mats and knives and cutting boards, etc.... Demonstration station was blocked by large plastic wrap box, hard to see. Avocados were not prepped, and when Chef Dan cut them, he did so in large chucks/slices, which was not ideal for sushi. Only one cutting station and one condiment station with sauces and such, more lines to wait in. Would NOT recommend. Will not take any more classes, very disappointed.
