Pasta making team building event

November 28, 2012 By Sandy

November 2012

What the event included:

  • A team of engineers from a large company arrived at 4.30pm to make pasta and have dinner.
  • They were divided into 4 groups.
  • Each group made pasta from scratch, created and filling,decided on a filled pasta shape, and then created their own pasta.
  • Demonstrations and help was on hand at all times.
  • The team then sat down to dinner and had their pasta as on of the courses.

What they said afterwards:

Hi Sandy,

Thanks so much for making our team building event such a fun, delicious and memorable one. I thought the way you split us into mixed up groups was a good idea and as the newest addition to the team, I got to know people a bit better.

The information you gave us was really interesting – I had no idea there was so much to pasta! I did do a taste test with the pasta and pesto you provided us and the pasta I had at home. Having only ever eaten cheap own brand through uni I have definitely been converted.

I was talking to my grandma about it and she has an old pasta maker in her loft she never uses and is donating to me, so I have absolutely no excuse not to get creating!

Thanks again,

Dear Sandy

Thank you for making the event a great success!

I have greatly enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere.

Your explanations on food were very interesting and instructive and watching my team making pasta was hilarious!

I hope to participate to other Cornucopia’s events in the future.

See you soon and many thanks again.

Hi Sandy,

Many thanks for looking after us yesterday – the overwhelming consensus is that everyone very much enjoyed the event, and learned something too!

I have circulated the recipe sheets (thank you), along with your request for feedback.

Thanks again,

Hi Sandy,

A really wonderful evening. I have always wanted to have a go at making pasta and that evening provided the opportunity.

The other thing I have now realised about fresh pasta is how filling it is; I had no room left for the extras you offerred us ….the lasagne and ginger pudding.

 Thanks again,

Hi Sandy
 
Just to say thanks for your hard work in organising the evening (20 Nov). It was most enjoyable, well structured and informative.
I certainly learnt a lot and it was good to have the opportunity to try pasta making, especially as now the nest has flown its probably unlikely I would make the investment.
It was no small task to manage so such a large group and range of characters/skills..well done!
The rest of the menu was all high quality ‘real food’.Unfortunately my eating capacity made it more of a tasting but I think the the others made up for me (amazed at their capacity).
I did wonder if the washing up could be part of the ‘team-building’.. but realise you would want to be able to find things again!
