Last night, Bubblebox joined forces with The Dirty Apron Cooking School to host an evening of food, wine and great company. The Dirty Apron is a homegrown locale that has been sharing their passion for culinary arts since 2009. Part cooking school part fine-dining establishment, its team-building classes turn even the most gastronomically-challenged individuals into Master Chefs. With more than 20 marketing professionals in attendance from some of the country’s leading e-commerce brands, there was bound to be a bit of healthy competition.

Resident Chef Takashi Mizukami turned up the heat by dividing the attendees into three groups, each of whom were responsible for cooking one part of a three course meal. The friendly cook-off resulted in three stunning dishes that were not only edible but worthy of a five-star restaurant. First to impress was the appetizer team, who served up a mouth-watering goats cheese and arugula ravioli—dusted with walnuts, tomatoes and vincotto. Next in line was team-entrée, who prepared an extravagant herb-encrusted beef tenderloin with potato rostis and asparagus. The indisputable crowd-pleaser of the night was dessert, a delicious Frangelico-poached pear tart served with soft mascarpone.
