What's Included
- Two hours of hands-on sushi instruction from a chef instructor
- All ingredients and culinary utensils for every roll
- Disposable gloves and aprons to use during the class
- Three rolls made by every guest: tuna, salmon and California
- The sushi you roll, enjoyed together at the end of class
What You Will Make
- Perfectly seasoned sushi rice, prepared step by step
- A tuna roll and a salmon roll
- A California roll, rolled with seaweed both inside and out
- Your own unique roll, mixing and matching the ingredients you like most
This casual, easy to follow class engages all the senses. Everyone works at their own station, so each guest makes all three variations, then lets their creativity flow by trying the seaweed both inside and out and building a signature roll. Your group is seated together for the whole class, which keeps the energy high and the conversation going.
Why It Works for Groups
Cooking team building works because everyone has a task and a result to show for it. Rolling sushi is just challenging enough to be interesting, and the moment a roll comes out clean gets cheers around the table. Coworkers who rarely talk end up comparing techniques and trading ingredients, which makes this one of the easiest corporate team building cooking classes to plan for a department or a whole team.
It also suits a birthday, a holiday party, a reunion or a milestone celebration. Because the chef handles the ingredients and tools, the organizer only has to bring the people. For groups that want culinary team building that still feels like a night out, sushi is a crowd favorite.
