Welcome to Culinary Team Building at Life Plus, where your team trades laptops for cutting boards and spreadsheets for shared plates. Our chef–led, hands-on classes are designed to help colleagues relax, connect, and create something delicious together.

Whether you’re celebrating a big win, welcoming new hires, or simply bringing people together in a more meaningful way, we’ll help you craft a memorable experience around food, story, and play.

All of our experiences are highly interactive and collaborative. It’s an excellent way to connect with co-workers, friends, and family—and every option includes enough food for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Choose Your Experience Style

Pick the format that best matches your team’s goals, personalities, and appetite for friendly competition.

1. Individual Cooking Class

Ideal for teams that value maximum flexibility and personal expression.

You’ll all be in the kitchen together, enjoying each other’s company and bonding over the process—but each person crafts their own dish. This is a great choice when your team has a wide range of taste buds, dietary needs, or comfort levels in the kitchen.

• Everyone cooks their own version of the featured cuisine

• Easy to accommodate different flavor preferences and restrictions

• Perfect for teams who want shared time together but individualized plates

• You’ll learn how to make the cuisine of your choice from our curated menus

2. Group Cooking Class

Our most popular team-building format.

In this experience, your team works as a collaborative kitchen brigade to create a full meal together. You’ll be divided into stations, each responsible for a different part of the menu. Individual and small-group efforts come together at the end, with one shared goal:

Get everything cooked, plated, and on the table on time—with everything hot.

• Teams work together on appetizers, mains, sides, and dessert

• Emphasizes communication, timing, and delegation

• Feels like part cooking class, part coordinated dinner service

• Everyone sits down together at the end to enjoy the feast they created

3. Group Cooking Competition

All the fun of a group cooking class, with an extra competitive twist.

After a warm welcome and orientation, your group is divided into teams that will compete to make the best dish of the night. Our chef (and optionally your leadership team) will be the judging panel.

You’ll be judged as a team on clear, playful criteria that may include:

• Presentation – How beautiful and intentional does the dish look?

• Taste – Flavor balance, seasoning, and overall deliciousness

• Timing – Did you hit the mark and stay on schedule?

We can also customize judging criteria to align with your company values—think “best collaboration,” “most creative risk,” or “best leadership moment.”
