NEW: Recipe Writing Coaching Program With Chef Lee! 👉🏽 LEARN MORE
Our corporate cooking classes are a delicious, interactive way for remote teams to bond together in Johannesburg.
We’ve worked with finance, mining, media, and energy companies, and our classes are perfect for team leaders and HR managers looking to improve team morale.
With remote work creating disparate teams, new team members may feel unwelcome, and stress and high pressure may affect team morale.
Finding a fun and effective team building activity can be tough. That’s why we offer something unique that your team will love.
In December 2023, we had the pleasure of hosting team-building cooking classes for over five distinct departments, each with a minimum group size of 15 participants from the Standard Bank Group.
It’s gratifying to note that Standard Bank has become one of our most frequent and valued clients.
The recurring theme for these sessions has often been the delightful “South African Savors” menu.
The teams have thoroughly relished the experience of outdoor cooking sessions in our garden, adding an extra layer of joy to each gathering. We look forward to many more culinary adventures with our esteemed Standard Bank clients!
Our booking process for corporate cooking classes is hassle-free and straightforward:
We use different venues around JHB. Venues and dates are only confirmed after full payment. Learn more here.
