Vietnam cooking teambuilding

The whole concept behind the Wickedfood Cooking School is that participants at the school, whether taking part in conventional classes or in a teambuilding exercise, should have fun. Our cooking competitions are based vaguely on TV’s Ready, steady, cook!, and participants who take part will probably recognise the fact. One of the modules is Vietnam cooking teambuilding. During this exercise your staff are split up into between two and four teams each consisting of between 6 and 12 team members. Everyone gets a coloured apron to identify which team they are on. The exercise starts with an instructor going through the workings of the kitchen and the criteria for judging. Teams get exactly the same ingredients and have to prepare six separate dishes in the given time. In the Vietnam cooking teambuilding module the six dishes are selected from:

• Fresh spring rolls - a classic snack, spring rolls wrapped in lettuce leaves and served with herbs.
• Vietnamese salad platter - an integral part of most meals, often used as wraps.
• Pickled carrot salad - a versatile fresh salad, delicious as part of a Vietnamese salad platter.
• Tofu, tomato and chive soup - a clear broth, versatile, ideal to complement the dishes.
• Caramel chicken - one of Vietnam's great dishes, sweet and spicy braised chicken pieces.
• River rice - cooked rice flavoured with lemongrass, shrimp and shallot paste.
• Coconut crème caramel - originally French, but now a firm favourite with a delicate coconut flavour.

Our Vietnam cooking teambuilding module is a really good way to get your staff to spend four fun filled hours in the kitchen in which they both learn how to work as a team, and also how to cook several Vietnam dishes into the bargain. Some of your staff may never have tried cooking before. They will remember their Vietnam cooking teambuilding exercise and the fun they had taking part in it for many months to come.
