Culinary Team Building Milan
Turn your team into a culinary brigade. Tailor-made cooking experiences and corporate events for groups from 10 to 100+ guests in the heart of Milan.
Corporate Cooking Events Benefits
For over ten years, we have welcomed corporate teams from around the world to cook in Milan, combining authentic Italian culinary traditions with team collaboration. Working alongside different companies has taught us, as chefs, that cooking is the ultimate metaphor for business: everyone has a role, communication is key, and teamwork turns into a tangible result.
TEAMWORK BECOMES A TANGIBLE RESULT
Everyone has a role, but no one needs to be a professional chef to participate. Participants chop, prepare, cook, and plate. Along the way, they communicate, make decisions, and work towards a common goal. Best of all, the final result is something they can taste, share and judge.
TAILOR-MADE CORPORATE EVENTS
Every Company has its own dynamics. We design the team building experience around yours. Our flexible formats are ideal for corporate team building, company events, celebrations, networking, and onboarding.
PROFESSIONALS Working Alongside Your Team
Our professional chefs lead teams by turning the kitchen into a collaborative laboratory. They guide participants through every culinary challenge, bringing out each person’s hidden strengths as they chop, cook, and plate together. Under their expert guidance, your team will experience firsthand how seamless communication and shared effort lead directly to an extraordinary tangible result.
HOW DOES A CULINARY TEAM BUILDING WORK?
We tailor every event to your schedule and goals. Here is a typical timeline of how the experience flows:
1. BRIEFING & KITCHEN TEAM FORMATION
The event begins with a welcome drink and a short briefing. Our head chef introduces the menu and kitchen team, explains the activities, and assigns teams to their stations.
2. HANDS-ON, TEAMWORK IN ACTION
Time to cook, collaborate, and bring the menu to life. For around 90 minutes, participants work together at their stations to prepare dishes under real-time deadlines. For competitive groups, a friendly Cooking Challenge can add a touch of healthy rivalry.
3. TEAMWORK IS SERVED
The experience culminates around the dining table. Once the cooking is complete, everyone gathers to enjoy the multi-course meal they built as a team—paired with fine Italian wine to celebrate their shared success.
SUCCESSFUL FORMATS
Cooking Team Building tailored to your company’s goals. Will you cook together, take on a challenge, or enjoy the show?
CLASSIC COOKING TEAM BUILDING MILAN
Preparation of a 3-Course Menu.
Participants form kitchen teams, each guided by a professional chef to create a full three-course Italian menu. Every team member plays an active role—from preparing ingredients to the final plate presentation. Once complete, teams gather around the table to enjoy the dishes they created together.
- Ideal for: Deep team bonding, collaboration, and relaxed networking.
- Format: 100% Hands-on.
COOKING CHALLENGE
Competitive & High-Energy
For teams looking for an extra edge, the Cooking Challenge turns the kitchen into a fun competition. Teams prepare the first two courses with our chefs’ guidance, then take on the mystery challenge independently—managing time, strategy, and creativity. Our chefs judge and declare the winning team!
Key skills tested:
- Collaboration & Team Spirit.
- Communication & Time Management.
- Creativity & Decision-Making.
- Leadership & Problem-Solving.
SHOW COOKING
Culinary Showcase & Interactive Dining
An informal, high-end culinary experience designed for relaxation and networking. Our professional chefs take centre stage to prepare a curated menu live, sharing culinary secrets, techniques, and the story behind Italian ingredients. Guests can mingle with a drink in hand, watch the live preparation, or step up to the station to try a culinary technique alongside the chefs.
- Ideal for: Corporate aperitifs, networking events, cocktail receptions, and company celebrations.
- Flexible Integration: Perfectly pairs with prior corporate presentations, speeches, or meetings.
- Format: Relaxed, interactive, and completely hassle-free for your guests.
THE BALANCED MIX
Show Cooking & Hands-On Experience
A hybrid format that combines live show cooking with interactive, hands-on fun. While our chefs prepare selected courses live, participants step into the kitchen—guided by our team—to cook a signature course together.
- Format: A balanced mix of culinary showcase, social interaction, and hands-on cooking.
- Ideal for: Corporate aperitifs, networking events, and groups looking for an engaging experience without cooking a full menu.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Excellent corporate team-building experience! We organized a team building event with my mates, and it couldn’t have been better. The activity is incredibly well structured. Time flies while preparing the dishes and laughing with colleagues. Chef Aurora guided us with great professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm. Making fresh pasta from scratch and then dining together really brought the group closer. The space is modern, clean, and the ingredients are top quality. Highly recommended for companies looking for something original and engaging in Milan!
