With over a decade of experience staging corporate cooking events in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Chicago, Parties That Cook has mastered the recipe for unforgettable team building events and private cooking parties. Our events encourage team bonding, improve communication, and foster camaraderie, all while whipping up fun in the kitchen!
How It Works: In less than an hour, our *-star event planners will help you design the best team building activity your company has ever experienced! Choose among six corporate cooking events, ranging from hors d'oeuvres cooking parties to Iron-Chef competitions. Then, we'll customize the event to fit your needs.
With instruction from our professional top chefs, guests will enjoy delicious food, great wine and upbeat music all while mixing, mingling and cooking up mouth-watering recipes with the freshest ingredients. Whether your group size is ** or ***, we guarantee a seamless event planning experience and a complete team building event that is effective, rewarding and deliciously fun!
Choose from a variety of event types designed to suit all needs and budgets:
Sumptuous Small Plates: Guests prepare a meal's worth of tantalizing appetizers served hot out of the oven, cocktail-style. The party never slows down as one nibble follows another at this event full of kitchen camaraderie.
Chef's Table: From start to finish, there's kitchen chemistry as guests work in teams to prepare a delicious four-course, *-star menu culminating in a sit-down gourmet meal. This event is perfect for employee gatherings, birthdays and special occasions or an opportunity to showcase some of your own prized wines.
The Kitchen Challenge: It's "Iron Chef" meets "The Apprentice!" In this dynamic team-building event, guests compete in teams to create a gourmet meal from secret ingredients and to win the honor of being judged "top chefs" in this action-packed competition.
The Ultimate Kitchen Challenge: In this special extended version of the Kitchen Challenge, your teams will work with an executive business coach to master consultative communication techniques in a workshop setting. Your teams will then put their new skills to the test as they compete to win The Ultimate Kitchen Challenge! With sizzling hot plates, sharp knives and tight spaces, communication is critical. Failure to listen can mean disaster – the same is true for your business. The Ultimate Kitchen Challenge is perfect for sales, client service, and customer support teams.
A Feast of Chocolate and Cheese: This one of a kind hands-on culinary experience will help your team navigate the ins and outs of making cheese and tasting chocolate. It is not only about indulging your palate, but about building teamwork and camaraderie your group can take back to the office.
Delectable Desserts: It may be sugar-coated, but this hands-on group cooking event is a delicious way to encourage team bonding, communication and creativity. Plus, everyone gets dessert!

"The Parties that Cook event was, hands down, the best team-building exercise that I've participated in. Pulling together with my co-workers in a fun and fast- paced environment -- and then kicking back to enjoy the fruits of our labor -- was a great way to bond and celebrate a year's worth of hard work. Throughout the process, Bibby and her team of professional chefs provided expert tips and coaching, cleaned up, and in general made us feel like we really were on our own Iron Chef show. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend to any team!"
