VENTURI’S TABLE CORPORATE COOKERY CENTRE TO OFFER GOURMET COOKERY DEMONSTRATIONS FOR RESTAURANT-DEPRIVED CITY WORKERS
Venturi’s Table Corporate Cookery Centre, famous for its indulgent, relationship-building cookery events is to offer City workers, deprived of their usual dining-out budgets, affordable cookery demonstrations to help them recreate restaurant-quality meals at home. The demonstrations, (with tastings throughout) to be run at the cookery centre for a limited period, will uncover the secrets of how to give home cooked food a delicious, gourmet twist simply and cheaply. The sessions will also include a luxury truffle making session for businesspeople to recreate at home as a frugal, but highly personal, Christmas gift.
Venturi’s Table ‘credit-munch’ demonstrations, tastings and truffle making will run from 10:30am until 1:30pm on Saturday 8th, 15th and 22nd of November at the corporate cookery centre’s designer kitchens in London’s Wandsworth Town and cost £50 per person (minimum per person costs at Venturi’s Table is normally £135.) City workers will be eligible for an immediate 20% discount. To book email enquiries@venturis-table.com, call 020 8875 7488 or visit www.venturis-table.com.
Professionals attending the demonstrations will be shown how to perfect four delicious, gourmet courses, which will include insights into making faultless risotto, sophisticated pasta dishes and flavoursome main courses. City workers who are worried about getting through a more thrifty Christmas will also be taught how to make luxury, chocolate truffles to give as personal and budget-friendly Christmas gifts. Demonstrations will be interactive and participants will be able to have a go at making their own truffles at the end of the session. Attendees will then leave with a recipe booklet for them to put into practice what they have learnt at home.
Anna Venturi, Managing Director of Venturi’s Table commented; “We have hosted over 7,000 business professionals since opening and I have seen first-hand an incredible lack of basic cookery knowledge- especially among young men working in the City. During one class I asked a young banker to grate a lemon only to find that he had grated the whole thing- including the juice! With the current financial situation, City workers will no longer be enjoying regular Michelin starred meals and are more likely to be careful with their money and eat at home. In these demonstrations we want to show that you don’t need lots of disposable income to enjoy delicious food and you don’t have to eat pasta with a jar pesto every night when you are cooking from home.”
Venturi’s Table specialises in enjoyable cookery experiences which help build professional, business relationships. It is the UK’s first, dedicated corporate cookery centre where business professionals cook from scratch in covetable kitchens and then enjoy what they have made together, around the table. The cookery experiences use the role of enjoying delicious food in forming and building human community (seen again and again in anthropology and across all human cultures) and applies it to business life. In using a human tradition which is natural and unforced, Venturi's Table is a 'breath of fresh air' for the teambuilding market. The centre don't need to impose teambuilding. It just happens.
The business is the brainchild of Anna Venturi and Letizia Tufari, a Milanese mother and daughter team originally from Milan. Since they opened Venturi’s Table in 2005, they have hosted some of the biggest brands in both UK and International business who have used their cookery experiences to entertain clients, motivate staff, welcome new members of upper management and use the kitchens as an environment to stimulate creative thinking. Previous clients include Google, Camelot, BP, Mars, PwC, Tesco, Deutsche Bank, Selfridges, Microsoft, De Beers, Coca-Cola and Pizza Express...among others!
