The experience

Get ready to have some fun making your very own Buddha bowl in your home kitchen.  Your virtual cooking host, Angelina Toporov, is a professional photographer and a foodie enthusiast. She authors the Epicurean Narrative food photography blog.  We’ll send you a grocery list with yummy ingredients so you can purchase the items before your online team building experience.

A Buddha bowl is a vegetarian meal, served on a single bowl or high-rimmed plate, which consists of small portions of several foods, served cold.  These may include whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice, plant proteins such as chickpeas or tofu, and vegetables. The portions are not mixed on the plate or in the bowl, but arranged in an "artful" way. Buddha bowls have been compared to Nourish Bowls (a non-vegetarian version) and to Poke Bowls (a Hawaiian raw fish dish).

There are several explanations for why the name refers to Buddha.  It may originate from presenting a balanced meal, where balance is a key Buddhist concept, from the story of Buddha carrying his food bowl to fill it with whatever bits of vegetarian food villagers would offer him, to the explanation of the overstuffed bowl resembling the belly of Budai, a 10th-century Chinese monk often confused with Buddha.

A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, is a great way to achieve good health! These foods are full of fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals, free of cholesterol, and low in calories and saturated fat. Eating a variety of these foods provides all the protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients your body needs.  

We’ll send your team the ingredients and buddha bowl making instructions once you book the online team building cooking experience.

“This was a very personalized experience.  My team needed a break and this team building virtual event really did the trick!  Even though we’re all working from home, the host kept us all engaged and you could feel her warm energy and enthusiasm.  The delicious food tasted terrific and she checked in on us to make sure we were able to follow along during her culinary creation.  We all laughed and learned a lot which brought us together as a team.”

“We booked this virtual Plant-Based Buddha Bowl making lesson for my work colleagues and we were all saying that this is the best team building event we have experienced! The Buddha Bowl really tasted delicious and it was easy to follow the food instructions from my home kitchen!  We all felt like we needed to learn how to eat healthier since we’re all remote home workers.  Thank you Angelina for the incredible cooking experience and for making it very personalized, special, and fun!  Highly recommend!!”
