AN EXCITING RANGE OF TEAM BUILDING COOKING ACTIVITIES
Inspire and stimulate your employees with high octane fun at an educational team-building cooking event!
Our events are highly engaging and immersive, designed to break down hierarchy and barriers while creating unique memories with your team in a social setting.
Welcome to The Cooking Academy, where we transform team building into a unique gastronomic experience, and here’s how we do it:
- We create a real ‘MasterChef’ experience where you’re up against the clock and have everything to play for.
- Our events are inclusive for all – because we all need to eat and who doesn’t enjoy delicious food and drinks?!
- Entirely hands-on, no demonstrations or just watching, your team are fully immersed in the kitchen with their sleeves rolled up, Ready, Steady, Cook!
- You create the entire menu; our chefs are there to keep you safe and give guidance where necessary.
- You learn and experience real cooking and get some inspiration and life-skills to take away.
- You must all work as a team to get the job done – so there’s plenty of camaraderie and team-spirit, which is exactly what team building is about.
- There’s something very special about the shared experience of cooking and eating together that naturally builds trust, strengthens bonds and encourages open dialogue.
- The space is exclusive to your group so you have complete privacy.
We add a fun and friendly competitive flavour to our cookery events which are accessible for everyone.
Led by experienced chefs, food scientists and nutritionists, our challenges immerse teams in the art of creating and presenting exquisite meals to a five-star standard. We encourage healthy teamwork through a variety of challenges to suit your budget:
- Ready, Steady, Cook – a classic!
- Sushi & Sashimi Master Classes
- Dim Sum & Dumplings
- The Hunger Games – Taste Test Challenge
- The Great Team ‘Bake Off’
- Wine and Cheese Tasting Events with Wine and Whiskey Qualified Instructors.
