DESCRIPTION
For teams that want a little bit of guidance and on budget, our 30-minute food olympic challenge could be just the thing you need. Start by choosing one of a range of delicious recipes from our menu below with recipes. Or we can set up the challenge into magic baskets where contestants will find required ingredients and they will need to create the dish themselves. Our chef will demonstrate this recipe, then the challenge begins! Teams compete to recreate a culinary masterpiece, then come back together to share a drink or two, relax and enjoy the amazing meal they’ve worked so hard to produce.
