TEAM BUILDING COOKING CLASS IN BARCELONA

Are you looking for the fun team building activities in Barcelona? Our company team building cooking class will get your group out of the office and into the Catalan countryside where they will get their hands dirty as they learn about organic farming, harvest their own vegetables and cook up a storm in the kitchen. This team building activity can be booked as part of our multi-day Barcelona business retreats or as a stand-alone event. Our farm-to-table group cooking experience begins with a visit to a small-scale organic farm where you will meet the owner of the farm, who will share with you and your team his work and passion for organic agriculture and farmers' life in Catalonia. He'll tell you about local crops, how he started, challenges at the farm, and the very creative solutions he came up with to become a renowned vegetable producer in the area. Under our host's guidance, your group will visit the farming lands and pick their own fresh, seasonal veggies to be cooked later on. After the harvest, the farmer will offer a tasting breakfast of seasonal fruit and vegetables where he will share simple but delicious local organic foods from the farm with you. The visit lasts 1 hour, although sometimes a bit longer as the farmer really enjoys showing visitors around the farm. Prepare for a unique experience with one of the friendliest and most interesting people of our region, to be lived once in a lifetime - at least! We'll then take you and your team to our favorite farmhouse restaurant in the Barcelona countryside, located a few kilometers away from the farm. There, we have set the most magical and unique hands-on cooking experience, where we will use our own harvest of the day to prepare a fantastic traditional meal. You'll be met by the owner of the farmhouse, who also happens to be a renowned local chef. Get ready for a team cooking session where you will work together to prepare a 3-course traditional Catalan meal, using local, organic farm-to-table ingredients. Your group will discover Catalonia’s best traditional dishes, all made using your chef's own recipes and adapted to seasonal produce. We might be making calçots (the amazing Catalan onions) in winter, mountain rice and/or fideua (the Catalan noodle seafood paella) in summer. We could cook traditional meat stews, Spanish omelet, traditional fish dishes or other great local delicacies. We can also create a fully vegetarian and/or vegan menu, inspired by our traditional regional recipes. You can fully customize your menu choosing from our seasonal menu options, with a combination of 1 starter, 1 main dish, and 1 dessert to be cooked together. Using healthy, traditional family recipes and local, seasonal and organic ingredients, you’ll discover the real Catalan cuisine just like we cook it at home. Finally, it will be time for everyone to enjoy the fantastic meal they have created together. If the weather allows, we'll cook and eat outside as much as possible, so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful views and quietness of the countryside. Fine regional small-batch wines will be offered when cooking and as food pairings with the meal to celebrate your creations. Please note that this is a totally unique cooking and eating experience, getting you up close with the Catalan local life. This is fully hands-on and everyone will get to participate in each step of the process, from harvesting veggies to cooking together and of course eating together. Your group will probably get their hands dirty, their shoes dirty and have one of the best times together as a team. They'll not only support the local life, they will also see where the food comes from and how it's been grown organically. This is a real cultural and human experience, and we highly recommend it for companies as corporate team building or as any group team-building in Barcelona.
