You will meet your chef and receive a short explanation about the market. Together with your chef you will ride to Hatikva market. With your chef you will select only the freshest of vegetables and maybe fish or meat depending on what is best on the day. Laden with all your goods you’ll return to our house where along with your chef you will prepare a feast while enjoying the music and wine we provide.

After the reception the group will be randomly split into teams. Each team will also have its own chef who will help them plan and execute their desired menu, but the decisions and execution is your responsibility.
The mission: plan, cook and serve a meal within the prescribed time limit.
