At Cook & Connect, we’re here to make the process seamless, memorable, and tailored to your team’s needs. Whether it’s enjoying a beautifully set table, discovering new flavors and cultures, or fostering genuine connection through cooking, we believe every detail contributes to an unforgettable experience.
1 hour Guided Recipe (Part 1)
This is a collaborative cooking session where the team is divided into smaller groups. Each group prepares the same culturally inspired dish, guided by Nadège. It’s a relaxed and interactive way to bond outside the workplace while exploring a new cuisine together.
1 hour MasterChef Challenge (Part 2)
This is a friendly team competition. Each group receives the same recipe and works independently to prepare and present it for dinner. Creativity, teamwork, and presentation are key! If desired, this segment can include an awards element, with me serving as the judge. Prizes or tokens of recognition would be organized by your team.
