“I cook, I create, I'm incredibly excited by what I do, I've still got a lot to achieve.” - Chef Gordon Ramsay
People love food. From thirty-second delicious-looking videos on Facebook to watching the Iron Chef on TV, collectively we are all obsessed with delicious treats and delectable entrees.
So, why are we so focused on food? It’s our basic human instinct, we need food to survive, but today food is more than mere sustenance - we can’t resist uttering the words, “tasty”.
As humans, we are defined by how we make food, and work together to make it happen. We can’t live without it. As cave people we were captivated by fire, not just by its looks, but for its ability to let us cook. It is a hobby that some avoid but, ultimately, its a common ground that everyone has to tread, making it a great opportunity to bring your corporate team closer together.
Spice up your employees culinary knowledge by leaving the office and heading to the kitchen. Time to roll up your sleeves and get cooking! Here are four great events to get your team participating as a team and flexing their leadership skills.
Held in a restaurant of your choice, a hotel banquet room, or even at different restaurants for each course, this team bonding event is exciting and interactive. The energetic and entertaining Teambonders Host facilitates the program, leads the tabletop games and exercises, coordinates the changing of the tables and works with the restaurant on the timing of the courses.
