What I Love About Cooking Team Building
I love what I do. My team building cooking events are priceless. Sometimes a team of corporates can really try to outdo each other cutting an onion, you get the picture! But they come in with trepidation and soon are infected with enthusiasm, which is what I love about team building as it gives me energy.
Even though team building cooking isn’t an adrenaline sport it does have it’s moments. Like the time when the guy who was flambéing the prawns decided to try to flip them in the pan and they went flying over the balcony 7 stories down. Or the time the marketing team from a big company decided to put ouzo in the chocolate mousse so that it didn’t set. It was chocolate mousse for 200 which they just ruined. I urged them to “think out of the box” about how to fix it – a problem solving skill much needed in kitchens and boardrooms. Being they were from the marketing department, they came back with Greek Chocolate Milkshakes which they convinced their colleagues to try.
