Gather your colleagues. Put on your aprons. Bring out the pots and ladles. Get ready for an immersive cooking experience with your team.

Our virtual cooking challenges take teams through an unforgettable culinary journey with some of the best local chefs.

Whether it’s a 2-course gourmet meal with all the trimmings or a dessert with wine – this isn’t just about eating, it’s the social atmosphere full of glee that makes it even more delicious!

It’s not just your everyday food but a great festive feast. The food we all look forward to when we’re getting together as a team!

It’s not a recipe from a book. Oh no! You’re off to an incredibly interactive MasterChef kitchen for this one.

About the Experience

Teams go through an exhilarating cooking experience, with a surprise gift pack,  which includes all the ingredients! After the heated cook-off, it’s time to sit down together with a bar of chocolate or a bottle of wine as the entire team prepares and devours the same meal together. Aside from learning how to make a restaurant-style meal under the guidance of a top chef, you’ll get ideas on different presentation styles, plating styles and techniques. Who in the team will make the most Insta-worthy dish?

 All our experiences cater to dietary requirements. Here are some popular options:

  • Spec-Taco-Lar Fiesta

  • No Worry Curry Night

I wanted to say “thanks” for such a fun and awesome cooking experience!  The chef and hosts were superb throughout, and my fellow managers have all commented on the great time they had!  And of course… the dumplings were delicious! I especially loved learning the different ways to fold the dumplings, and appreciated the additional steps/advice given for one-off requests, i.e. ‘steaming’ the dumplings.

Our entire team had a lot of fun – thanks so much!

That was a fun evening, so much fun and oh-so-delicious!!! My daughter Ella joined in and loved having a lesson too. I was honestly surprised how much we all enjoyed it and got a chance to learn some fun trivia about each other. The chef was so calm and made it easy. We made 35 dumplings together as a team in under a minute! Yay team!

Our entire team had a lot of fun – thanks so much!
