Corporate Event Reviews

I would just like to thank you all again for such a fantastic experience, it was incredibly educational and certainly gave me some food for thought (excuse the pun!) The afternoon was so very well thought out and delivered, everyone was so friendly, helpful * patient and I’m really looking forward to putting some of the recipes and techniques into practice

Thanks again! (Nicky- KARL STORZ)

Thanks so much for sharing the recipes it was a fantastic event – everyone loved it thank you! Your entire team were great they looked after us so well and did such a good job – the food was delicious and under their guidance we were amazed at being able to produce such great dishes in such a short time. It was good fun, real team building experience with healthy competition and great feedback from the chefs.

Thank you we’ve already been recommending it around the office here at Dentons!

Thanks for all your help in organising this and please pass on our thanks to the chefs. I will certainly be happy to do a review. (Sally-DENTONS )

Thank you very much for providing such a lovely experience. We really enjoyed it, and posted a blog on our website where we mention you guys: Fun with Blue Car at The Cooking Academy! 

Everyone had such a great time and are still talking about it a week later – I thought the food tasted delicious and so much lighter and healthier than what you get in restaurants. Thank you for inspiring us and coaching our team. (Ilaria – Blue Car technology)

I had a really great time taking part and the food was just divine! The uber “healthy” recipes I’ve tried in the past have been somewhat uninspiring, but Kumud’s packed in so much flavour. And she did such a great job at explaining why the ingredients are important and what they do for us. 10 out of 10 afternoon, thank you!  (Kate -Karl Storz)

“This was a very novel experience that provided an interesting talking point with clients. It was different from the usual team-building events—highly informative, exciting, and a great differentiator for our team. Everyone left feeling energized and inspired!” (Richard Parry – Barclays)

“I have to say the team really enjoyed the day off and generally are of the opinion that it was the best retreat event we have had so far! It was perfect for us, very interactive with
clear goals and timelines and of course the pay off of lovely food.”  (Bren Vaughan – EBI)

“Our cookery event was designed to improve inter-team relationships and encourage colleagues to connect outside of the workspace. It was a fun and sociable day filled with laughter, good wine, and plenty of memorable moments. We met our objectives 100%, exceeding everyone’s expectations. Most importantly, the teams enjoyed themselves and left with a stronger bond, having created shared memories that they continue to talk about!” (Thomas Schneider  – Concur Technologies)

What an amazing day we all had…it has been the topic of conversation today and the photos have been flying around the office! It has had the desired effect on the teams here so we are delighted with the outcome. Thank you all for your most professional help not only before we arrived but during our event too.    (Dawn Lipman – Full Power Utilities)

“The cookery event has helped me reflect on the importance of teamwork – there was a great team spirit throughout the day. It taught me that food doesn’t just fill you up; it’s also an integral part of your lifestyle. The whole day was first-class – one of the best corporate experiences I’ve had!” (Mark Williams – Three UK)

“I learnt a lot about people I thought I knew quite well. Cooking is very nurturing and similar to managing people.” (Eric Pedersen – Bra Boehringer-Ingleheim)

“Thank you for a fantastic team-building event! The entire day exceeded my expectations, from the skills we developed together to the high level of engagement and fun. We all let our hair down in a professional way and got to know each other better. This is the best team event we’ve had, and it certainly won’t be the last!” (David Grays, Oracle Finance)

“Both personally and professionally it exceeded my expectations from what I thought could be my development & Reward programme. The day was a fantastic introduction to Indian cookery and a bonus being in such a relaxed and lovely environment.” (Lindy Butters, De Vere Venues)
