Our cookery event was designed to improve inter-team relationships and encourage colleagues to get to know each other outside of the workspace since happy employees mean happy customers – and growing revenues. Our objectives were met 100%, exceeding everyone’s expectations for the day, The teams had great fun and most importantly, took something away for themselves, and they have talked about the day since so we’ve created shared memories. There was good wine and plenty of banter and jokes, it was highly sociable. And for me, the best part of the day was “watching the whole team putting their effort into the cooking and enjoying themselves.” (Thomas Schneider – Concur Technologies)
The event was a lot of fun and a great experience for the whole team, especially since most were out of their comfort zone and yet embraced the tasks. The motivational presentation on nutritional eating was very well received by all the teams and has inspired change here. They are highly charged and engaging with each other as we wanted and so we have achieved everything we had hoped and more. (Trevor Ballantyne – BMW)
“This was a very novel experience that makes an interesting talking point with clients – very different to the usual team building events, highly informative, exciting and great differentiator” (Richard Parry – Barclays)
“Thank you. I had a wonderful day – really enjoyable, very friendly, making learning very easy and interesting. The class has given me lots of ideas for both simple evening dinners but also dinner parties. It has really opened up a whole new style of cooking for me. Brilliant – highly recommended.”
This book is one to keep in your kitchen, lovely recipes, spices are very easy to understand as details are at the front of the pages. Made the vegetable pakaro they are so easy to make and so tasty. (Rita G)
The objective of the day was a bit fun and raised everyone’s confidence within the team, which I believe the event definitely did. There has been a great buzz in the office over the past few days, with everyone sharing their experiences” (Neil Mcgruer – BAM)
Just to say a big thanks for another successful event. I was delighted to see how the event really brought them all together to work to achieve the tasks and they really enjoyed themselves and have been buzzing about it in the office ever since. In fact it’s generated a lot of interest in cooking and they are all keen to practice their recipes at home. (Liz Barber – DLL Financial Solutions)
“Thank you so much for organising the day for my family to come and cook together at The Cooking Academy. My father-in-law was so chuffed with the surprise cookery day; he doesn’t often see all his children together in one place so it was very special. Everyone was unbelievably enthusiastic – even the non-cooks joined in and got so much out of it. They have all been cooking the recipes and sharing photos on the group whats app! We all had a super day and James and I thank you for all the little details in making it special for his big birthday. They really enjoyed the spice trail as much as the cooking, sorry if we over ran, they are just animated by it all and it was a good refresher for me.“
