Sensational Bowl quinoa grilled chicken- creative cook co recipe

60 minutes cooking class: Tickle your senses

Cook together a fun and easy meal that tickles all your senses: our so-called Sensational Bowl.

It’s colorful, full of flavor and of course very tasty. We have heard many times that participants are making these dishes over and over themselves. Try out our popular Sweet potato with pulled chicken bowl, Grilled skewers over quinoa, or the Smokey halibut over green lentils that is inspired by French cuisine.

90 minutes cooking class: Cook up a meal

During our 90 minutes corporate cooking class we also could make a Sensational Bowl and have some more time to chat and mingle. Or opt for a bit more elaborate meal. Think of making a Seasonal risotto together, cross the Mediterranean Sea for a Moroccan meal with couscous, or get inspired by ingredients chef Edie grew up with. Just as someone in a review once described a:
“Just exotic enough to feel like we were attempting a meal we wouldn’t normally cook, but simple enough that we could replicate on our own!“

creative cook-ie challenge

NEW! Book our 60 minute creative cook-ie challenge. We will all use the same basis recipe for a large chocolate chip style cookie, but everyone can get creative with what they have in their pantry for the add-ins. We can keep it a creative fun event, or make it into a competition and assign a winner.
Perfect if you want to keep it very simple and affordable, as most people won’t need to go out for flour, butter and sugar (or alternatives).

A few more thoughts

Click on the + to see the answers. Use the form below to ask us any other question you have!

What are we cooking?

You decide! We get our inspiration from all cuisines around the Mediterranean Sea, and use ingredients you can find in any supermarket. Every Summer and Winter we change our menu to what’s in season, and create 5 standard suggestions. We offer suggestions to cater to various dietary preferences so gluten and dairy free folks, vegetarians and vegans alike can enjoy the same culinary experience. And if you want something else? Just contact us to discuss.

We are absolute beginners in the kitchen. Will this be for us?

Absolutely! All our events are for all kitchen skills. We will take it slow, making sure everyone can follow along. We don’t want anyone to feel stressed, just have a great time together.
You all eat, right? So you probably recognize most of the ingredients and have seen them in various ways and in different dishes already. Just see this as a fun way to cook up a fun project and enjoy the results of your hard work immediately. Because, yes, we will make sure your recipe is gonna work. Chef Edie will be coaching and cooking along, and – maybe with some tweaks – co-create with you a dish everybody will love to eat.

What size of groups is this for?

Being a virtual event, we can cook together with as many people as we want.
With larger groups (think 40+) we do suggest cooking together the Sensational Bowl in a 90 minutes cooking class, giving us time to demonstrate all protein options and have more time to mingle and ask questions.

Who’s doing the groceries?

You decide!
* We could set up having the groceries delivered, using Instacart. Everyone will receive all ingredients as we don’t know what they have in their pantries to use.
* Everyone can do their own shopping. We are inspired by all cuisines around the Mediterranean Sea, and use ingredients you can find in any supermarket. You’ll receive an extensive grocery list that provides suggestions for all kinds of alternatives or substitutions that your team already might have in their pantry, in case of non-availability or dietary restrictions. They will then shop for themselves, only buying the items they’ll need.
* As a gesture, some companies refund or give the team a gift card for the groceries.

We have some dietary restrictions, would that be a problem?

Not at all! All our seasonal menus come with standard options for dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan alternatives, which will cover most people’s dietary preferences. Feel free to inform about suggestions for other preferences.

What do we need to prep in advance?

Nothing! Have your camera set up so we can see your face and have your ingredients and some tools ready for grabs. We will do everything together from cleaning and chopping to plating the dish.

How do I book?

Contact us to discuss over email of via phone. Once you know what type of event you’re looking for, we will set a date and time, and discuss the menu. Every season we have 5 menu options to choose from, or we could do something else (like making pasta by hand, maybe?). You will receive an extensive grocery list with suggestions for alternative ingredients, the recipe and the Zoom link. Then you’ll only need to excite your co-workers to join us in the kitchen!

Something else?

You arrived at this page, but this is not what you are looking for?

We’re not only hosting corporate team bonding cooking classes just for fun, we also have developed a real team building experience that makes you become more aware of interpersonal communication and cooperation within your team. Or check out our suggestions on our corporate wellness week page, that go from a simple cooking demo to an interactive lecture on creativity in the kitchen.

We also cook (virtually) together with family and friends and host couple’s date night cooking classes.

If you are looking to become a more confident and creative cook yourself, book a private on-on-one cooking class, check out our cooking class calendar or maybe you like to have a few sessions with a cooking coach.
