Food has always been a universal bridge builder. When your group creates their own gourmet meal and enjoys the delicious results, they will quickly learn the value of working together, as well as experiencing first-hand what efficiency and cohesive production is all about. And as employers, you all know what smooth production gets you: happy customers, better revenue and a better work environment
As Team building ideas go, cooking in corporate teambuilding programs is becoming a hit. The simple experience of cooking a mouth watering meal together will not only satisfy empty stomachs, it will result in giving you a team that knows how to maximize productivity and their creative output.
No Kitchen? No Problem!
Our team of expert facilitators and the Teamcooking experience are fully portable. We can go anywhere you want, so you don't have to find a separate site to accommodate your group.
Because we use only the resources available in most conference facilities, we can work with hotel staff to host your experience appropriately, your group will not need to hunt for a cooking school or available kitchen. We can even create the team building experience in the park or on the harbour foreshores!
However, many groups prefer to come to our kitchen( Sydney & Melbourne).Where We are able to cater for groups of up to 20.
For groups of up to 120 we work with a number of venues that are suitable for our cook ups.

The cuisine is either Italian or French as it is fresh and less time consuming.
The event is done in a very relaxed atmosphere with a lot of humour infused.
What better way to experience your group's potential than through creating your own delicious gourmet meal. And, once you have experienced a successful session, the winning attitude becomes contagious.
When this winning attitude is applied at work, a positive work environment takes hold. When this happens, better quality and more output becomes the standard, resulting in happier customers, better products and services, and a healthier bottom line.
Awareness is the Key
Awareness is the beginning of group change. When you experience a dynamic team paradigm shift through gourmet meal creation, your group sees the necessity of working well together. By creating a real culinary outcome that is consumed by all, the group develops "team awareness" and the realization that cooperation and team work leads to better results.
This team awareness carries over to the workplace, and teams experience the same group satisfaction and success back at work they discovered through creating a delicious meal together. This renewed group attitude brings with it better production and a healthier bottom line.
Groups from 8 to over 250
You can relax from trying to find a team building idea that will accommodate the size of your group. We can successfully work with groups with 8 to over 250 participants.
Because we work very well with our hotel and conference center partners, we are mostly limited to the size of the rooms and facility. And, because our program focuses on the team building aspect of your event, we are able to successfully adapt to group size so it becomes a viable team building option for your group, meaning more convenience in your planning process.
