Event Outline
Ferran Adrià Head chef and founder of the world renowned elBulli restaurant in Spain is considered one of the best chefs in the world, Ferran started a gastronomic revolution that inspired modern chefs such as Heston Blumenthal to create magical touches to dishes by combining natural ingredients used in the consumer food industry with fine dining cooking and the results were spectacular.
Be one of the first companies to engage in the new generation of team building activities, molecular cooking is where the classical chef meets the Modern chef. Inspire innovation and creativity to the highest level in this magical team activity.
Have you ever wondered how the modern chefs such as Heston Blumenthal create these amazing dishes, our professional chefs will present a variety of techniques to add vibrancy into their dishes, hot gels and spheres will redefine what you thought you knew about cooking, we would expect guests to master some basic skills they can use at home by the end of the activity.
Once the techniques are mastered, the group can have a go at making some of the items demonstrated, the class will include some amazing tasting dishes for all to try. Dine like Einstein and bring your cooking to life.
Please note this is a team building activity with molecular canapes and cocktails.
