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

   the teams'  accomplishments
   while they enjoy a delicious meal

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

  "
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. Her fun tricks and yummy recipes made the evening memorable.
  I whole heartedly recommend these classes for special events."

  controlled choas delicious food was produced. A true testament  to the kinds of recipes provided and
  your expert oversight."                                               Michael Tracey, Operations Mgr., Lifeline Systems, Framingham, MA
