What better way to get to know co-workers than working together to make that soufflé rise?? While getting hands on in the kitchen, everyone can get more familiar with one another and build new relationships. In our team building cooking classes, we teach the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients at the peak of their flavor - presented with aesthetic appeal. For those who feel foreign in front of the stove, our instructors will work directly with individuals to ensure that everyone learns safe food handling practices and techniques.
Cheese & Wine Tasting Parties
If your crowd is too big to fit into our kitchen, consider an entertaining and educational event learning about the wine & cheese of the world! Our cheese mongers and certified sommeliers will treat you to the delights of wine & cheese pairing, entertain you with their knowledge and passion, and of course you’ll get to taste the subject for yourself!
