Looking for a unique and memorable way to bring your team together? At Elemental Cooking School, we specialise in team building cooking classes in Auckland designed for both corporate groups and private functions. Whether you’re planning a staff celebration, a client event, or a fun day out with friends, our hands-on cooking experiences are the perfect recipe for success.
Looking for a fun, challenging and creative event, perfect for any occasion? Then join us for a trip through the Orient and experience our latest package – “Taste of Asia”! This package is perfect for groups wanting to experience cuisine in all its variety of flavours and styles.
This package is exactly as it sounds. The event would start with your group being divided into small teams, followed by some fun challenges to break the ice and lighten the mood – then each group will be given a different cuisine to cook from a country in Asia. You can choose between Japan, Korea, India, China, Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia. Each group will cook 2-3 dishes based on the country of choice and the menu will be seasonal and revealed on the day / night. The chef will demonstrate a few dishes to give types and guidance, and then each team will be sent back to their stations to commence their culinary journey, and of course our chefs will be on hand throughout the class to assist. Once all the meals have been cooked, our chef will judge which group did the best and who were the prize-winners. Then your group can enjoy a buffet-styled lunch / dinner and sample all the colleagues / friends dishes!
Are you looking for a fun, creative and exciting event for your team, group of friends or someone’s birthday? Then come to this Asian MasterChef Cooking Challenge!
Choose one of the menus from our selection of Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian or Indian options and we will teach you how to cook these favorite Asian Cuisines! The day / evening will start by dividing your group into smaller teams, with a tasting challenge and quiz about the country (cuisine) that you have chosen.
Then our authentic chef will demonstrate 3 dishes (some of our other competitors only do 1 dish but we believe in sending you home full)! that you are going to cook as a team, before we put you back onto the cooking station to hit the pressure of a 45 minutes of cooking challenge. It’s now your time to show off your skills and hidden ability to your team mates!
Sounds very serious?? – don’t worry, we just want you to have fun and create delicious meals for your colleagues and friends! We will be there to help and assist you all the way through! At the end of the 45mins, just like your favourite TV shows, we will judge your meals based on tidiness of your work station, team work, creativity, presentation skills (little speech from team is always good one to hear) and taste.
Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of the day / evening with your team over a glass of wine or nice cold beer! and the enjoy the sumptuous meal that you have just created. We will announce the winner at the end of the event!
