If you’re looking for a fresh way to mix up your team dynamics (pun absolutely intended), team building cooking classes might just be the secret ingredient. Forget awkward ice breakers or cringe-worthy trust falls — getting your team into aprons and behind mixing bowls is a far more delicious way to cook up creativity, collaboration, and a sprinkle of healthy competition.
Why Team Building Cooking Classes Are the Perfect Recipe for Success
Team building cooking classes offer an informal, fun platform for teams to let their hair down and work together in a completely different environment. In the kitchen, titles and departments are left at the door — it’s all about communication, problem-solving, and timing as you whip up mouth-watering creations. It has been said by the BBC that Cooking is good for our Mental Health.
Studies show that creative activities like cooking can boost team morale by up to 25%*. And when you add a bit of light-hearted competition into the mix? You get stronger bonds, improved trust, and a big helping of laughter — all essential ingredients for a thriving company culture.
Whether your team is meticulously following a recipe or freestyling their way to a culinary masterpiece, cooking challenges encourage collaboration in a relaxed setting where everyone can shine.
Zing Events’ Team Building Cooking Classes in Covent Garden
At Zing Events, we believe that the best way to bond a team is through unforgettable shared experiences — and food has a magical way of bringing people together.
Our team building cooking classes are hosted at our stylish Covent Garden kitchen, right in the heart of London. Teams roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with a series of cooking challenges that range from perfecting pasta to plating up desserts worthy of a Michelin star (or at least an enthusiastic round of applause).
Led by professional chefs (and some serious kitchen banter), the experience is designed to suit all abilities — so whether you’re a kitchen novice or a seasoned home cook, you’ll find your place in the culinary chaos.
And of course, once the hard work is done, everyone sits down together to enjoy the fruits of their labour. A brilliant way to finish off a memorable team day.
Take It Up a Notch with Bake That — Our Mobile Cooking Challenge
If you’re after a team building cooking class that comes to you, Zing Events has you covered with Bake That — our mobile baking activity inspired by the TV phenomenon, The Great British Bake Off.
Think flour fights, frantic whisking, and some questionable showstoppers as teams battle it out across three separate baking challenges. From signature bakes to technical challenges and themed showstoppers, Bake That brings all the drama (and deliciousness) of the big tent to your office, venue, or chosen location.
Not only do teams need to flex their baking skills, but they also need to work together under pressure, delegate roles, and stay calm in the face of a soggy bottom disaster. It’s the perfect mix of creativity, communication, and competition — with a hearty helping of humour thrown in.
At the end, bakes are judged on taste, creativity, and presentation. Prizes (and bragging rights) are awarded to the best team, but the real winners are the ones who get to eat cake for lunch. Everyone’s a star baker in our eyes!
