Corporate Culinary Challenge™
[full description pdf version]
Through the use of food preparation, your team will benefit from a custom-created culinary experience designed to meet and exceed your team building outcomes.
The group is divided into smaller teams, with each team given a different “Culinary Challenge,” and the responsibility for making enough of their food item to feed everyone present. All teams' gourmet creations are then combined to create a sumptuous buffet worthy of a 5-star restaurant.
Each team will be further challenged to create without the use of recipes or in-depth cooking training, relying on each other's resourcefulness and life experiences for success.
The final outcome is the realization of the task accomplished: The conception, creation, and production of an exquisite 5-star gourmet banquet – without the aid of a proper kitchen, recipes or culinary training – in an extremely limited amount of time.
This achievement, followed by the enjoyment of sharing a fine meal together, is a powerful metaphor to share with your team and to bring back to your work place.
Key Ingredients to Success: Team work, collaboration, team creativity, communication, leadership
