THE CONCEPT Corporate Team Building trough tasting and Cooking

What a Delicious Idea!

Team building through cooking and tasting is an alternative to rope

climbing, golf outings and treasure hunts. It is an enjoyable opportunity

to bring together employees from various departments in your

organization, create an experience for them to meet and to work

together as a team, by producing immediate and tangible results.

Food & wine have always been a perfect way to bring people

together. By cooking, drinking and eating together, teams can

discover the ingredients for successful and effective performance.

For example, if the goal is to work on problem-solving skills, participants

could be given all of the ingredients for a recipe, but not all of the

instructions. However, most groups prefer more loosely structured

sessions for groups that want to spend time together and have fun.
