GROUP COOKING CLASSES FOR TEAMS IN DC

We offer the best large-group cooking classes in the DC metro area. Our group cooking classes are the perfect hands-on, interactive team-building activity. Your team will collaborate to make a flavorful dish that you can then enjoy for a full lunch or dinner.

A professional chef will walk your team step-by-step through the collaborative, fun process of preparing a meal. We will handle some of the prep in advance, so your team can focus on cooking a delicious dish.

Why Choose Our Team-Building Cooking Classes?

We do things a little different from other cooking class companies. First, our cooking classes take place in a state-of-the-art cooking space. We operate in multiple locations, so you can select a space near your office. Some other companies only come to your office. We believe team-building is about taking a break from the office environment. (But if you prefer we come to you, we can do that too).

We’ve been producing first rate team-building activities centered around food for nearly 15 years. So 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 by video. Plus, our chefs are second to none!
