Team Building Activity: Mystery Ingredient Cooking Challenge

Immerse your team in the excitement of a television-worthy cooking competition with this unique team building activity! Your group will split into teams and each will receive a basket of mystery ingredients (along with a few expert tips) from Chef Laura. Teams will work together to create a two-course meal, improvising with their surprise ingredients along the way. Witness your team's problem-solvers, creative thinkers, natural leaders and team players combine their strengths to compete for the win!


Before the energy of friendly competition fills the room, everyone will enjoy a chef-crafted charcuterie board to get the culinary creativity flowing. Next, teams will get to cooking! The fun lies in the mystery, as some teams might be challenged to flourish a spectacular sirloin steak and potatoes, while others might have to get innovative with eccentric ingredients like liquid smoke or tofu. Teams can be judged on their meal's creativity, appearance and overall taste. 


This invigorating activity will come to a close with some quality camaraderie and a chef-prepared homemade seasonal ice cream. Treat the team to a team building event that's exciting and includes great food!

My girlfriend and I had such an incredible night and cooking class with Chef Laura. Not only did she teach us how to prepare everything from start to finish, but she made it so much more fun than just a cooking class, chef Laura is now family. The food was absolutely delicious, and it is the best date night and experience we've ever had. Looking forward to doing another one soon, highly recommended!
