Social Reception Team Building Event

  “Great Team Building Event, we will be back!”

Spend a day with co-workers outside the office and head to Lake Geneva School of Cooking for a

Customized Corporate Team Building Event!

 

Our “Hands-On” Corporate Team Building Events create an environment promoting your company specific needs and goals though communication and cooperation among participants while recreating recipes from CHEF JOHN BOGAN RECIPES FROM THE SEASONS OF MY LIFE cook book.

 

In addition, we successfully transfer the essential elements of teamwork from the workplace into our kitchen; each team is called upon to use collaboration, commitment, goal orientation and leadership.

A typical Culinary Corporate Team Building experience is as follows: 

  • Prior to the event: Chef gathers background information, meeting themes, buzzwords, and menu. This insures the team-building experience is customized for your team.

​

  • Upon arrival: you are introduced to your Chef and staff will greet your group.

​

  • To start off the event, your group will toast with a sparkling wine and enjoy Parmigiano popovers, while discussing the event’s menu.

​

  • Menu prep: The group is then broken into teams, each team receiving a recipe for their course, assigned a Chef Mate and given a chef hat and an apron. ​

​

  • Lessons: your Chef will lead a group lesson in basic techniques used in the preparation of the event’s dishes, food and kitchen safety and food and kitchen sanitation.

  • Then the fun begins, as each team begins to prepare their course under the guidance of your Chef and Chef Mate.

​

  • Let’s Eat! Once the cooking is complete, the group will then join together for the fine dining portion of the event. Each team will elect a representative to Present their Social Reception creative dish to the group

​

  • In addition, your Chef is available in helping teams choose a wine to pair with their course. 

​

  • Total Event Time: approximately three (3 - 3.5) hours.

“We wanted to take a moment to thank you for the outstanding job you and your staff did for our client, West Bend, during the President’s Round Table program we recently held in Lake Geneva. We always strive to have at least one off the chart element in each program, and thanks to you, we were able to have TWO on this one.”
