Corporate Team Building
Corporate Team Building Programs have been named as one of the Top 10 Meeting Trends for 2011 and Chef Louis Gervais and Bernard Deslauriers have designed three popular Cooking Class formats to help bring your team together in a dynamic and fun environment.
1. Traditional 3 Course Dinner
Teams work together in the kitchen to prepare a delectable 3 course meal and then sit down together to enjoy the results! The evening provides a great non-competitive environment enabling staff of all levels to work together in a casual, social atmosphere encouraging new friendships and strengthening your team.
2. Iron Chef-Black Box Culinary Challenge
A unique take on the wildly successful ‘Iron Chef‘ TV series; teams are given a ‘black box‘ of ingredients and they need to work together as a team to design and execute a 3 course menu worthy of competing against our own Chefs. Encouraging strategic thinking, working towards strict deadlines and organizational skills this dynamic evening is sure to ignite and inspire the competitive edge in your team.
3. Master Chef Culinary Challenge
Taking the Iron Chef competition to the next level, the Master Chef Culinary Challenge is similar to the Black Box Culinary Challenge but instead of competing against our Chef’s your team is split into groups and are pitted against each other! Encouraging creative thinking, communication and leadership skills this energetic evening provides a healthy dose of friendly competition for your team.
Some of the benefits of Team Building include:
- raising employee morale
- encouraging creative thinking
- increasing communication
- improving team interaction
- improving leadership skills
- improving organizational productivity
- helps in identifying teams strengths and weaknesses
Private Culinary Parties
Bring your friends together for a lively and interactive culinary adventure in our studio kitchen. Whether you are looking for a dinner theater style evening or prefer to be hands on in the kitchen learning new recipes and techniques, our Private Culinary Classes offer a unique alternative to the traditional dinner party.
1. Get Sauced with Louis
This evening is all about friends enjoying great food & wine and learning a little something along the way! Spend a lively evening in the kitchen with friends & family as Chef Louis teaches you the techniques and tricks to creating amazing sauces. This culinary class will teach you 4 basic sauce recipes that provide the foundation for dozens of recipes in a relaxed, engaging atmosphere.
2. Harbourside Dinner Theater
One of the hottest trends in dining is Open Kitchen Dining–the walls come down between kitchen and dining room and now dinner comes with a show! The dining table is set up in our studio kitchen so you can watch and learn as the Chef’s prepare and serve you a delectable 2 course meal. Our Harbourside Dinner Theater provides a unique opportunity to reignite your passion for food, inspires conversation and is a great way to connect with friends.
We offer private classes for groups of 10-25. Book Monday through Thursday evenings at our studio kitchen located at 850 Harbourside Drive in North Vancouver.
The fee for custom cooking class parties starts at $1500 per group.
