Culinary Team Building in a cooking workshop in Paris

Description

In a real Parisian cooking workshop, enjoy a culinary team-building activity based around a fun and immersive cooking class.

3 workshops to choose from :

• Culinary Challenge "Mystery Basket" - 10 to 45 people

Duration: 2-hour workshop followed by a 1.5-hour tasting session.

Divided into teams, make 2 recipes in 2 hours top time using a mystery basket of seasonal produce.

Each team has 3 jokers to ask the chef-coach for help.

Based on an evaluation grid, the chef-coach marks the quality of the dishes prepared and the organisation of the brigades. The best team will be rewarded with a gourmet surprise.

Course:

- Launch of the challenge: Divided into 2 or 3 teams, the participants are welcomed into the kitchen by the chef-coach, who presents them with the basket of mystery ingredients.

- Brainstorming: It's up to your team to come up with 2 recipes using these ingredients. Don't panic, the chef is there to keep you away from ratatouille or crumble (too easy!).

- Preparation: Like a kitchen brigade, work together to make the 2 recipes in the allotted time. You'll have 3 jokers so you can ask the chef for help. Be careful not to use them too quickly! In the meantime, the Chef will prepare a delicious seasonal starter.

- Tasting: The time has come for each team to taste their own creations, accompanied by a bottle of wine for 3 people. Based on an evaluation grid, the chef will mark the quality of the dishes prepared and the organisation of the brigades.

- Debriefing and prize-giving: At the end of the workshop, the chef names the winning team. They will receive a small surprise as a reward.
