Corporate cooking days

Team Building

Cookery Classes

Team building activities will encourage your employees to bond and work in a more unified manner, with less of the "What's in it for me?" attitude. Team building exercises have more impact if they are fun and innovative. Look for ways to get the team out of the office for increased effectiveness of the exercise.

 

Ideally, the company conducting this competitive cooking group team building exercise will provide the food, chefs, non-alcoholic drinks, equipment and best of all, the clean-up afterwards. You provide enough employees for 2 or more teams of eager participants who will have a terrific time learning new cooking skills, building relationships with co-workers, and eating the results of their efforts.

 

But sometimes the idea of paint balling won't appeal to certain members of a team. For a more refined day out, a team cookery session can be a great activity, and usually an activity that is universally liked by the group. Corporate cooking days are available for almost all styles of cookery, from traditional English to Thai. This is great way to get teams to gel, whilst simultaneously broadening their culinary horizons.

 

There are also a variety of rather more unorthodox corporate days that have emerged in recent times. Smoothie making, sumo suit wrestling and even spy days are becoming increasingly popular. Whether you decide to go with a tried and tested day, or something more unusual, team building is an essential part of modern office life.

 

Look out for small class sizes and look at the menu of what you're going to cover on the Thai cooking class. Many Thai cooking classes can be more demo based, which you really want to avoid. Instead search out Thai cookery classes that are fully hands on and gets you to do the cooking which is the fun bit but also where you'll learn the most.

 

Cooking class fundamentally include learning to make the red or green curry paste from scratch as this is the foundation block for a good number of dishes. It should also cover a soup and a curry dish, as these are the cornerstones of Thai cookery. Thai cookery classes in particular need to get down to the nuts and bolts of cooking, so be sure to check its not all snack food.

 

Christmas cookery courses are growing in popularity. In the last year alone, one major cookery centre reported a 67% year-on-year increase in bookings. Activities such as corporate cookery classes can help staff get to know each other - even shy people can get involved as there is the shared focus of the cookery task. It also helps employers get to know staff's strengths and weaknesses - often ones they would have never have had chance to notice in the normal work environment.

 

Cookery schools are also attended by many businesses to entertain clients as an alternative to a bland restaurant or outdated boozy lunch. A number of businesses also choose cooking classes as an end-of-year treat or a change to the usual turkey-and-tinsel Christmas party for staff.
