"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!"

Parties That Cook® offers four delectable options to choose from:

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, four-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. Turn the heat up high in the kitchen with this fabulously fun group event. 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.
