Cooking Classes

There is an old military saying - "an army marches on its stomach." Seasoned business veterans know that the same sentiment is true for their world too.

While fine dining is a mainstay of any top class business meeting or event, here's a twist on the dining concept that can get you and your colleagues even more excited about your meals.

Under the supervision of Australia's top chefs, you and your team will collaborate to create a gourmet meal with a distinct Australian flavour.

You might cook a banquet of fresh local seafood. Or, you could learn to prepare "Outback tucker" - the local term for a traditional Australian bush meal.

As the exercise goes on, you'll play different roles in the cooking process. At one moment you might be the head chef. The next moment, you could be chopping up the vegetables.

These cooking classes are more than just a fun way to prepare a meal. They are an apt way for people to work together as a team - and the differing roles in the kitchen are a powerful metaphor for the different roles they play in the workplace.

And at the end of the process, you and your colleagues get to share the fruits (and vegetables, and meat) of your labour.
