Why Culinary Team Building? Glad You Asked!
Live, Virtual Culinary Team Building
It’s a recipe for creating culture, community, and collaboration virtually in the workplace.
Or for any group that needs some virtual togetherness.
Powered by ZOOM, enjoy all the fun and creativity of a hands-on culinary team building event even when you’re not face-to-face.
This activity can take on any flavor your team is looking for. Cook a dish together. Break into teams to collaborate. Enjoy your meal and conversation. Or compete!
Cooking is about the magic of transformation; the emergence of a beautiful, delicious, nourishing meal that is complete and satisfies in a way that no one individual component alone could.
Bring your diverse cast of characters, your company, your team of any kind, and even your family together for a true transformational experience.
After all, the words “company” and “companion” spring from the same two root words – “com” which means “together” and “panis” which means “bread”.
A company is simply those who break bread together.
And as a result, accomplish great things.
