We do the preparation in advance, so you can focus on the fun part, cooking and connecting with your people.
-
Our cooking competitions are run like our cooking classes but with a fun competitive element.
Upon arrival, you will be split up into teams that will compete to make the perfect dish in your cuisine of choice. Everyone will make their food but will collaborate as a team to help each other cook a tasty dish.
Our chef will be the judge. You will be judged as a team on presentation, taste, and timing. The winners will receive a trophy tasting and bragging rights.

The Iron Chef-Style Cooking Competition is slightly different from the cooking class and cooking competition. Instead of choosing the cuisine you want to make in advance, you will be given a pantry full of ingredients and your team will decide on the spot what dish to prepare.
Our chef will act as judge and choose the winning team based on culinary criteria familiar from TV. The winning team will receive a bonus tasting. All the teams will love eating the ‘fruits’ of their labor.
*Included in all cooking class options: A charcuterie and crudite platter as a welcome snack, an expert chef with support staff, and enough food for lunch/dinner. Loads of creativity, flavor and fun!
