On the hunt for a team building event to enjoy with your colleagues, family, or friends over the festive period? You’ve seen the program, now immerse yourself in the true Come Dine With Me experience at this Christmas cooking class!
Your host will provide a warm welcome before dividing your group into smaller teams, ready to go head to head as you learn to cook a tasty two or three-course meal using raw seasonal ingredients and exclusive recipes.
Got a few team members who don't know how to cook? No worries, your Michelin Star trained chef will provide an in-depth cookery demonstration covering knife handling, presentation techniques and all of the technical aspects of the dishes before handing things over to you.
You'll have a whole host of festive fun with your team as you select a head chef, don your Christmas hats and get cooking! From preparing a table setting with all the trimmings and serving each other to judging the competitions food, your group will be in charge of every aspect of the evening.
The winning team from each course will then go before your talented teacher to be judged on aspects like the representation of the dish, creativity, teamwork and taste!
