Corporate Cooking Class for Team Building

Inject some serious cooking fun into your team in this corporate cooking class in Brisbane!

These cooking classes for team building can be fully tailored to suit your needs, whether you're motivating employees, welcoming new recruits or just letting off some steam. Simply tell us your objectives and we’ll make them our priority. For example, we can create a master chef cook-off challenge to encourage some healthy competition between your staff, a group cooking class to facilitate team bonding or a more laid-back cooking demonstration to observe.

A typical cooking class will run as follows (but can be fully customised to meet your needs):

• Welcome, nibbles and refreshments
• Full risk assessment and safety talk by our trained staff to meet your company's requirements
• Overview of tasks and then commence with cooking activity
• Once the activity is completed we can offer a full debrief on team performance, cover off any remaining objectives and speeches or prize givings can commence
• Dessert is served

The cooking class neutralizes the dynamics of the office. It breaks down the team, and builds them back up again, allowing them to bond on a different level, and in a more positive way.

Having a few laughs is an important ingredient when cooking up a feast. Chef Mel is known to excite her guests and make even the timidest of people to come out of their shells. Learn the one-handed egg-opening technique, how to spin dough balls like a pro, and plating challenges that will see teams working together for a common goal. The best part? Classes end with nothing short of a major feast!
