Looking for team building ideas that will get your team bonding over learning new skills together? Why not join Taste Budds for this mystery box cooking class and challenge yourself and your team to get creative in the kitchen.
The Mystery Box Challenge starts with a welcome, housekeeping and safety, and an explanation of how the cooking challenge works. Teams cook for two hours with rescued produce from SecondBite plus an array of pantry staples and fresh meats from a local butcher.
The Taste Budds team will support you and your team throughout the challenge to help you cook beautiful nutritious food for the visitors to Tranby Homeless Centre run by Uniting WA. Everyday, around 180 people in crisis visit Tranby seeking essential services.
You'll get to sit down together and enjoy the meals you have cooked while the Taste Budds Chef completes the scoring of team performance. The winners will then be announced (prizes are included). Part of the team challenge is to cook as much food as possible so that you can pack meals for delivery the next day. A few of your team members are welcome to assist with the delivery of meals to the Tranby Engagement Hub!
If you're looking for team building activities with a twist, then this cooking class would be a great way for you to spend some time bonding with your colleagues outside of the workplace.
This class is great for a team building activity, birthday or hens party.
From Cornwall to the Kimberley, Sophie Budd has cooked with celebrity chefs and for rock stars and established herself as an authority on minimising food waste and cooking with a conscience.
Sophie trained in the UK and was making her mark on the food scene even before graduating culinary college. She won a national cooking competition, and at 16, worked in the kitchen of
much-loved TV chef Rick Stein where she peeled, shucked and filleted her way through some of
the UK’s best seafood.
After college she worked at Michelin starred restaurant Pennypots; cooked for Queen drummer Roger Taylor from UK to Mallorca on his 125ft superyacht, Tigerlily; had her first head chef role at 21 in a busy 16th century inn on the Roseland Peninsula; and subsequent head chef roles in London before returning to Cornwall to work as chef de partie at Jamie Oliver’s soon-to-open Fifteen Cornwall. It was at Fifteen that Sophie found a purpose and passion for food. She became the pasta, gnocchi, and risotto chef, cooking alongside Genarro Contaldo, learning everything she could and falling in love with Italian food and produce. Jamie taught Sophie that being a great chef was one thing but being able to teach was another skill set entirely. She learnt a kitchen could transform people and provide them with a new purpose. Seeing nine of the 21 underprivileged youth from Fifteen graduate and enter the world as great chefs motivated her to continue combining food and teaching.
These days, Sophie’s heart is divided between the UK and Australia. What was intended as a working holiday to WA in 2007 became a permanent move, and 'Taste Budds Cooking Studio' was born. Over eight years, thousands of kids, adults, friends and corporate groups have cooked together at Taste Budds, learning to create a variety of cuisines. Sophie and her team have also catered for some amazing gigs, cooking backstage for Adele, Fleetwood Mac, Sting and Paul Simon. Cooking alongside legend Antonio Carluccio at Rick Hart’s showroom and Marco Pierre White at Western Australia Gourmet Escape are career highlights.
Taste Budds has been a mobile business since 2019, allowing Sophie to accept invitations to food
festivals and events in some of Western Australia’s most spectacular locations. She’s now a sought-after celebrity chef in her own right, and WA has claimed her as their own. Sophie loves creating meaningful team building cooking experiences through Taste Budds, teaching groups to turn bruised or ugly fruit and veg rescued from supermarkets into delicious meals, feeding community members in need at Tranby Homeless Centre in Northbridge.
Expect to see Sophie pop up at Australia’s most iconic food festivals feeding, entertaining, and
showcasing the incredible local produce WA and Australia has to offer and bringing communities
together with food.
Sophie is an ambassador for Beta Spuds and Chef Ambassador for Hart & Co.
Warm, authentic, and brimming with talent, Sophie Budd makes every event truly memorable.
