Team Building Activity: Gnocchi to Die For

In this team-building activity, you and your crew will go on a culinary adventure to Italy with the guidance of a top-skilled chef, Chef Tess. This is the perfect opportunity to connect over cuisine, a language we all have in common. First, you will assemble a popular Italian appetizer of tomato and basil bruschetta drizzled in balsamic vinegar. Next, you will choose between a white truffle, almond pesto, or garlic and tomato sauce to make gnocchi. And finally, you will learn how to make a classic dessert of panna cotta with berry compote.

I loved the class! Test did a great job with balancing modeling and involving our group. I enjoyed the class being at her house around the big island. It felt casual enough that it wasn’t intimidating but I learned a lot. I also loved eating the food at the end of the night.
