Culinary team building stimulates cooperation towards a  common goal - preparing and eating a complete meal. Based on the universal experience of "breaking bread" together, each team member  contributes,  regardless of their culinary skills.

Benefits of Team Cooking

- Increases employee morale, cooperation, comaraderie, communication skills and multi-tasking     - Rejuvenates work teams and helps newly formed teams get acquainted     - Stimulates brainstorming, decision making and problem solving     - Allows participants to work quickly under time constraints, to organize and delegate tasks     - Safer alternative to river rafting and rope climbing - and people don't limp away  with sore muscles

Details

Here is what people have said about Ellie's Culinary Team Building Events

"On behalf of the Regulatory team here at Cubist, I would like to thank you for providing us with such a fun and   delicious teambuilding event. We could not stop talking about it at work yesterday. You and your team were so    gracious and planned such a great time for us, which was topped off with delicious food. How could we go wrong?    The event met all of our expectations and more. I will make sure I get the word out there to anyone who is looking    into options for teambuilding to check out your website. Thank you also for the wonderful pictures and video link.    I will plan on sending your emails to the rest of the team so that they can enjoy them as much as I did. Again, we    appreciate all that you and your team did and will certainly consider a return engagement in the future.    Best Regards to you and your team for a Happy and Spooky Halloween Season!!!! "                                                                                                                                      Jeff Bourque, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Lexington, MA  "Our teambuilding event with Ellie Deaner was a great success.  Ellie worked with us to customize the event   to our needs.  The team had a great time and the event provided us the opportunity to have 3 separate groups   that had been recently reorganized together to really bond, have fun and get to know each other.    Thanks Ellie !!!"                                                                                                   Donna Beauchamp, Senior V.P., Bank of America, Boston, Massachusetts   "This event was fantastic; great team building and relationship building.

Reading, Mass. "Thank you for making our team building exercise such a huge success. I was pleasantly surprised to see how    much fun and bonding can take place over a hot skillet. Our clients  were able to create (literally) a delicious   multi-course meal while at the same time get  to know each other in a way they would never be able to do    'on the job'."                                                                                                                     Irene Siotka,  Acct. Director, New England,  HBO   "It was great meeting you at the HBO/Sopranos team building event. I have actually used some of the recipes.   I'm not much of a cook but followed the recipes to a tee and the meals were great. My husband was wondering   where I learned to cook!!!  We all had a blast!"                                          P. M.,  Charter Communications, Worcester, MA   "We had a team building event with Ellie and it was fun and absolutely delicious. Ellie's personable   nature and charm put us all at ease.
