Focus on cooking corporate functions

Enterprises across the board find WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools to be the ideal venues to host unique corporate functions. Be it for client relationship building, staff assessment, a fun way to reward employees, Team Building or competition cooking, cooking class corporate functions are a fun, rewarding way of entertaining.

Our trained instructors know their way around the kitchen and people alike. Open communication combined with interesting lectures and comprehensive notes, as well as ingredients and utensils supplied, contribute to the professionalism you can expect when hosting corporate functions at one of WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people to relax and mingle around a kitchen table or stove? While people prepare food, ideas are shared and some of the best brainstorming can take place in the kitchen. It is almost a shame when the cooking is done and you have to sit down for the formal dinner. And it is no different at WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools, except that the enjoyment of meals afterwards is just as much fun as the preparation process where new skills are learned.

You and your clients don't have to be culinary experts, which is why we provide professional teams, consisting of the instructor and one or more counter assistants to teach you even if you are a novice in the kitchen. Take the planning and work out of corporate functions while you just enjoy the art of cooking with your clients and employees alike.

WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools assists you in developing a cooking event that is creative, stimulating and extremely enjoyable. People who attend the corporate functions hosted at the state-of-the-art kitchens leave rejuvenated in mind and spirit after the exciting classes. From the well-planned menu of a minimum of six dishes, to the facilities provided, to the instruction and the interaction among attendees, WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools teams are dedicated to creating exceptional occasions for your company. Several choices exist for entertaining clients and building teams:

Team Building

Cooking a full course meal entails and develops teamwork. Our Team Building cooking corporate functions reinforce the values of close cooperation, planning and implementation skills. Opportunities for learning new skills and for building trust exist.

A full course meal of a minimum of 6 dishes is prepared after the instructor explained the terms and ingredients to be used. Every student receives comprehensive lecture notes and recipes to take home. The class is then divided into groups who work together, aiding each other and having fun while learning. All dishes are prepared at the same time, including the starters and side dishes. Attendees enjoy the meal in a social setting afterwards. Light beverages are supplied.

These Team Building classes can be booked for the mornings, afternoons or evenings, and generally last about 3 to 4 hours. Group sizes of up to 36 (3 groups of 12) can be accommodated at the flagship school in Sunninghill, while the equally professional school in Boksburg can accommodate groups of up to 24 attendees (2 groups of 12).

Group cooking for client relationship building

The same class structure as for Team Building can be used for client relationship building, birthday parties, and as reward for work well done.

Cooking competitions

For something different you can treat your clients or employees to a competition cooking event where up to three groups are pitted against each other. A basket of mystery ingredients is supplied and the groups have to prepare the meals only from the supplied ingredients in a set time. This is also ideal for staff assessments. It is vibrant and healthy competition, while still being great fun. Time and project management skills, communication abilities and the ability to work under pressure can be assessed. Whereas the normal group cooking classes are more relaxed, these competition cooking classes are fast paced.

WickedfoodŽ Cooking Schools offer close on 40 classes specially designed for the corporate and group market. Dare to be different. Brighten the spark in your team, establish good report with clients, and develop future leaders through the versatile and exciting cooking classes and corporate functions at WickedfoodŽ Cooking School kitchens.
