Teambuilding @ The Professional Culinary Institute
Located in the Bay Area California
Private & Corporate Events PRICING The cost depends on the event deatils. The price is usually around $100 plus a 20% taxable gratuity and tax. The price does include wine and beer. We offer groups an AM start and they prepare lunch. We can start in the early afternoon and have an early dinner or the group can begin after work. We are very flexible at PCI and can customize any event to fit your needs!
TEAM BUILDING THEMES CHOOSE FROM OUR CLASSIC THEMES! COOKING CLASS The group will work together to prepare a wonderful three course meal learning specific techniques, cooking secrets. Our chef instructors and assistants will guide the group along the way; all before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of the groups labor. A perfect way for team members to share a common experience, learn basic cooking techniques, have fun, and build camaraderie all at once. BAKESHOP This is the ideal teambuilding activity for the group with a sweet tooth! Choose amongst three challenges in the bakeshop. Option 1: Bakeshop Variety: Teams will work with Focaccia Bread, Cookies, and Fruit Tarts Option 2: Cookie Cook-Off: Scoop it! Shape it! Form it! and Decorate it! May the best taste and presentation win! Option 3: Ace of Cakes: As the name might imply, this is all about cake decorating! IRON CHEF Let’s get ready to rumble…similar to the PCI Cooking Class Teambuilding, but with an “Iron Chef” twist. The group will be divided in to smaller teams, and each team would have a kitchen set up with themed ingredients such as Asian, Mediterranean, Latin, American, and much more! It is up to the teams to decide the best way to utilize the ingredients and prepare at least two dishes to share with the entire group. Our Chef Instructors will guide and help when needed. WINERY COMPETITION The group will be split into teams of 5-8 people and each team will then compete as a new winery in three different categories. 1) To blend three wine varietals together to create the best blend 2) To create a label for the bottle 3) To develop and act out a 30 second commercial to promote their new product. It might have something to do with the wine tasting, or the creative expression, but every group is usually on the floor laughing by the end of the event. This event promotes communication, cohesiveness, leadership, delegation, and most of all FUN along with education from one of our Certified Sommeliers on staff. We will also enjoy a Italian buffet dinner.
