:: Wickedfood :: Mexican team building

The country of great parties, tequila, chillies and richly satisfying foods – Mexico has one of the most interesting histories in terms of the evolution of their cuisine and provides a great basis for experimentation with colours and spices to present a truly unique meal. Mexican team building at Wickedfood Cooking School can take your employees on a taste experience. Before Spanish conquistadores (Spanish explorer soldiers) arrived in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (now known as Mexico City), the diet of the Mexican population mainly consisted of corn-based dishes with chillies and herbs, and many times complemented with beans and tomatoes. However, the Spanish soldiers brought ingredients like rice, beef, pork, chicken, wine, garlic and onions. These ingredients were then combined with the ingredients found in pre-Columbian Mexico like chocolate, maize, tomato, vanilla, avocado, guava, papaya, pineapple, chilli peppers, beans, squash, sweet potato, peanuts, fish and turkey.

This resulted in one of the earliest forms of fusion cooking and also a taste experience of note for the various groups that played a role in bringing these wildly different ingredients together. Some of the most popular Mexican dishes have also made its way out of Mexico and you can now find meals like enchiladas and tacos at your local restaurant, even here in South Africa. At Wickedfood Cooking School you will receive all the ingredients, notes and recipes you need to fully enjoy your Mexican team building. The school’s kitchen is fully equipped with everything your employees might need to prepare their delightful meals and once done they can all sit together in a fun environment and taste the fruits of their labour.
