Kicking Off Fall with Touchdown Team-Building Events
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 09, 2013 -- Lajollacooks4u has turned up the heat in the kitchen with a cooking and dining challenge. The team-building event starts with group members separated into two teams. Each team is then tasked to collaborate in creating and preparing their specific list of delicious, gourmet dishes. With two distinct menus simultaneously being prepared, a feast of food is the final result of the team-building experience.
For our latest team-building event, the first drill in the cooking challenge was to complete the hors d’oeuvres of Pizza Rolls. In the Pizza Roll breakdown, Team One worked on the Pepperoni Blitz, while Team Two went wild with the Mushroom Madness. An Apple, Pomegranate Seed and Fennel with Mixed Greens topped the first cooking quarter along with 2010 King Estate Pinot Grigio.
Once the appetizers are complete, the teams will then move on to the next challenge: the race to complete two different entrées. One team completed the Mustard Seed Crusted Beef Tenderloin, while the other prepared the Blackened Salmon with Chimichurri Sauce. Seasonal vegetables, chopped and grilled, with Orzo and Feta are included with the entrées, complimented by 2010 Josh Cabernet Sauvignon.
The ultimate head-to-head challenge brings out the true competition with Mini Dessert Shooters. One team mastered the chocolate-extravaganza known as "The Mudslide" while the other skillfully assembled the delightfully fruity Lemon Curd Shooter.
All touchdown celebrations are then held at the dining table where the team members will reconvene to exchange action-packed stories, share much laughter, and appreciate the fabulous meal they co-produce. The judges’ scores are determined by the teams’ collaboration, performance, as well as the appearance and taste of the overall meal.
The process of creating a delicious gourmet meal through competition and cooking-challenges not only fosters a sense of unity in teams but also a highly enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
