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.

We had a great time. Chef Tess is a lot of fun, bringing humor, a love of people, and years of culinary experience to create an enjoyable evening. The food was amazing and we all left completely full. I appreciated the techniques she shared, but most importantly I loved how she taught us that cooking is an art and doesn't have to be perfect. We can take risks with things and adjust as we go if needed, which took a lot of the anxiety out of attempting to make new recipes.
