Culinary Adventures are a fun and effective way to bring your group together deliciously. And the same skills required to create a wonderful memorable meal together are those needed to complete a successful corporate project: Organization and Teamwork!

Consider a Culinary Adventure Team Building Event when your group is seeking to:

• Build cooperation
• Introduce participants to each other
• Learn invaluable skills for teamwork
• Celebrate the completion of a project
• Develop leadership
• Kick-off an event or campaign
• Encourage participants to go outside their "comfort zone"
• Bring different levels of employees and/or management together
• Create a positive work environment
• Relax and have fun together

Q. Where can I hold my Culinary Adventure Teambuilding Event?
A. We're portable! You don't need a kitchen to hold a Culinary Adventure. We can work with most conference centers and meeting places. Talk to us about where you have in mind for your meeting and we'll make the arrangements with your conference meeting planner.

Q. How long is a typical event?
A. Most evening events run about 3 1/2 - 4 hours. This included our plenty of time for our teambuilding exercises, instruction, cooking and eating. Team building Culinary Adventures can be custom-tailored for lunch, dinner, dessert, or an appetizer/snack event.

Q. What kind of menus do you provide?
A. We include learning about and preparing a possibly unfamiliar cuisine as part of the growth experience of a Culinary Adventure. Getting participants to try something new can be an important all part of the teambuilding process! We encourage participants to take a culinary risk, expand their horizons, and get out of their comfort zones

With that in mind we specialize in international cuisine for our teambuilding exercises. We have found that many groups greatly enjoy learning about the cuisines of Asia, particularly Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese. We usually create a menu from those cultures. However we can also create menus from a cross section of international cuisines, or the cuisine of another specific region of the world. Ask us!

Food issues? Allergies? Vegetarians? No problem. We can and do work with it.
