Joy and Meal’s Post

We couldn’t contain our excitement when the prestigious #WorldBank booked a #teambonding session with us as part of their #teamretreat in Munich! A big, big thank you for your trust! 🙏 For those unfamiliar, The World Bank is a global institution based in Washington D.C. dedicated to reducing poverty and supporting sustainable development around the world—an inspiring mission that resonates with people from every corner of the globe. Our dynamic team of three was ready to host their 25 international enthusiastic participants, with Chef Álvaro leading the three-course cooking session with his signature charisma, Wendy Leow-Knorr as lead event manager, and Rowain as an invaluable assistant, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The energy in the room was electric right from the start! The evening kicked off with a light and elegant welcome salad topped with pumpkin purée and Gorgonzola-stuffed cannelloni. With a set up with smaller stations to maximize hands-on engagement, here’s what was on the fully #vegetarian menu, which was aligned with the high diversity in eating preferences and requirements of the group: Starter: Arancini Siciliani. Participants dove into shaping these beloved Italian stuffed rice balls. Under chef Álvaro’s guidance, they fried them to golden perfection, mastering both technique and taste. Main Course: Italian Stuffed Crespelle took center stage. The chef demonstrated a few variations with different fillings, and the group’s energy soared as some brave participants tested their flipping skills. The stakes were high—could they match Alvaro’s flawless flip? Dessert: The creamiest Vegan Avocado Mousse. The dessert station buzzed with activity as one group puréed creamy avocados, while another melted chocolate over a bain-marie. When the ingredients finally came together, the result was a smooth, decadent mousse that had everyone swooning. Over the course of four hours, the space was filled with joy, #teamwork, and endless #laughter. It was a night of #learning, #bonding, and, of course, indulging in mouthwatering dishes. #joyandmeal #munichstartup #cooking #teambonding
