Although it may not always be possible to meet in person, there’s no reason why teams can’t still participate in group activities.  Maintaining social contact and having workplace fun is essential to building ‘team-spirit’ and making people still feel connected to their colleagues.

Our virtual team building cookery events ensure that individuals working remotely are still able to have social interaction with team members, clients, or the organisation as a whole. Our aim is to create wonderful memories for your group activities, share laughter, and have fun all from the comfort of your own home.  Cook together, eat together and most importantly continue to strengthen your team bond together.

We provide a range of online programmes to suit your objectives including:

• Cook with the MasterChef Cookery activities
• Ready Steady Cook!
• Masterclasses
• The wellness programme – a series of online masterclasses and cookery sessions to build a resilient workforce

A variety of ‘Wellness in the Workplace’ presentations:

• The Corporate Athlete – How to build your resilience
• The Impact of Sleep on the Brain
• Eat yourself Fit
• The Alchemy of Food
• The 2^nd brain in your Gut

Our activities are highly inspiring, engaging and stimulating, whilst being educational and most of all fun!

Our virtual cookery classes and wellness events can be a single event, or a series and the length of the programme can be determined by you.

Our events are led by highly qualified chef’s and Food Scientists with a background in food, business and corporate life bringing a wealth of experience from all areas.

We will plan the event and support you to provide all the information your team members require to be able to participate in the activity.

Why choose cooking as your team-building

Event of choice?

Cooking is usually an activity reserved for personal space with family or loved ones. It is reminiscent of home life and therefore evokes a different set of emotions leading to the breakdown of professional barriers, to enable fantastic team collaboration with colleagues.

A cookery event from your own kitchen will allow family members to participate and feel part of the event and part of a wider work family, yet again helping to break down enable people to feel more relaxed and enjoy what they have cooked with their families.

Contrast with many other team building activities, cooking is more inclusive and doesn’t isolate those individuals who may not be as physically able to be involved. Nor does it create a destructive or overly competitive atmosphere that deters from the true purpose.

Cooking also provides participants with a practical skills and hands-on experience that they can build into their everyday life recreating healthy and flavoursome meals at home.

“Just to say a big thank you for another successful team-building event. I was delighted to see how the event really brought them all together to work to achieve the tasks and they all 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’re all keen to practise the recipes at home.”

“Our cookery event was designed to improve inter-team relationships and encourage colleagues to get to know each other outside the workspace, since happy employees mean happy customers – and growing revenues. Our objectives were met 100%, exceeding everyone’s expectations.”
