What You’ll Do

Plan a flavorful, collaborative journey for your team filled with creativity and classic culinary techniques.

Gather your group for a delicious deep-dive into Persian cuisine with this hands-on team building activity. Guided by an expert chef, your team will bond over a four-course feast, including a roasted eggplant dip, Persian stew, basmati rice and pistachio ice cream.

Begin by charring eggplant to create a smoky, velvety dip. Then, learn braising techniques as you simmer an aromatic Persian stew and layer it together with warm spices. Master fluffy basmati rice with golden tahdig, the crispy, saffron-infused crust. Finally, churn a refreshing pistachio ice cream delicately scented with saffron. This culinary experience bonds colleagues over five-star cuisine.

Great corporate team retreat and team bonding experience. Our team learned several new recipes, ate delicious food, and had a ton of fun working in the kitchen and dining together. Chef Sayeh and her team were wonderful, encouraging, accommodating to our dietary needs, and kept us on task--even though we were a rather large group. I highly recommend this great team-building activity.

We hosted a large group for a team building event this week and it 100% exceeded our expectations. Chef Sayeh's energy is amazing. Rave reviews and appreciation from the entire group. If you're looking for a fun and engaging team activity, I highly encourage you to check out the DC Cooking School
