Team Cooking Program

Improve your group's dynamic or stage a memorable party with one of our made-to-order cooking classes. These lively classes encourage teamwork and cook up delicious fun for participants young and old. We use cooking as a way to encourage and improve collaborative effort and team building to create a unique learning experience.

Before entering the kitchen, we organize a series of activities and workshops that hone team skills to enhance communication, collaboration, and effectiveness. They focus on team planning, effective use of resources, leadership, and recognition of team and individual accomplishments

The team format is a lunch or dinner where cooking is part of the entertainment, these special events are great for corporate team building, as well as, personal celebrations, such as birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, and special reunions.

Our staff is prepared for both the eager novice and the experienced home cook or professional. A typical party runs 2 ½ to 3 hours including hor d' oeuvres, a sit down, full service three-course dinner where all enjoy the meal that they have just made.

Equipment and Kitchen Tools:
You may bring your own knives to the class, however, we provide all the equipment and tools that you need. Our kitchen is outfitted with an array of top-quality kitchen tools including authentic Mexican comales, molinos and other items. We recommend that you wear comfortable, casual clothing, for safety students should wear closed-toe shoes for all classes. You will receive a recipe for every dish prepared in class.
