Iron Chef
In this classic team-cooking event the start of each battle rings with the call: “So now kitchens, with an open heart and an empty stomach, I say unto you: ‘Allez Cuisine!’
Participants are arranged into kitchen teams and given a “theme” ingredient to work with. Teams and Guest Chefs discuss strategy, research recipes and then the battle begins.
Preparing food requires the strong teaming, sharing roles and prioritization. The resulting dinner is served family style with points for taste, plating and originality of dishes. Everyone is well fed and leaves filled with the possibilities of being one integrated team.
Concepts explored in this activity:
- Competition
- Teaming / Sharing
- Prioritization
