Why Choose Our Team-Building Cooking Classes?
We do things differently than other cooking class companies. First, our cooking classes take place in a state-of-the-art cooking space. We have multiple locations, so a space is close to your office.

We live and breathe team-building. We’ve been offering team-building activities for over 13+ years. We know what it takes to pull off an amazing food experience. Your team will bond in ways they can’t in the office or over a video call. We don’t want to toot our own horn, but our chefs are awesome!

All our team-building cooking events can be run as classes or competitions. The cooking competition is similar to the cooking class but with a fun and relaxed competitive twist.
The Iron-Chef-Style Group Cooking Competition is for those looking to improve communication and bond with their co-workers while having fun in the kitchen!
All of the class options have enough food for a hearty lunch or dinner.
