Research indicates that experiences make us happier than things!
Designing Desserts & TeamBuilding Tapas
A non-competitive team-building session built around fun desserts, or we can use savory ingredients for a 90+ minute activity. Invest a little more time for more interaction! Cooking & Non-cooking options are available; all equipment and accessories provided.
Cake Decorating or Handmade Truffles
Similar to the "Designing Desserts" program, except your team decorates cakes or makes hand-made truffles. If you're pressed for time, your team can have as much fun (and sugar!) as possible in just 60 minutes ...or more?
(Chef handles setup & cleanup)
SENSEational Communication
Quantifiable results! Engage all your senses in this 60-90+ minute session. Using various foods, beverages, and music, and occasionally blindfolds (!) your team can use these newly discovered communication skills immediately, with a noticeable impact on improved communication!
Iron Chef Contest ("non-contest")
Participants will get a complete set of tools and equipment to prepare a course using the Mystery Basket ingredients. This 2-3 hour program can be done in ANY space, with or without cooking, to make a complete meal that everyone can enjoy. Ask about how it works!
Meal Planning & Healthy Cooking
Economical shopping tricks, cooking tips & more! In as little as 45 minutes, this program takes your group on a virtual grocery shopping trip, followed by step-by-step instructions on how to meal-prep. Recipes focus on whole foods that are easy to cook & reheat. Includes a 12-recipe cookbook!
Food & Wine Pairing
Chef JoAnna's Food & Wine Pairing is a structured-but-casual session. Whether offered as a team reward, or as a client appreciation event, this 2-3 hour event will not only be a wonderful time sharing food & wines, but it will also impart useful knowledge. (A program that uses "mocktails" is available, too.)
