How the Custom Cooking or Baking Class Works
The custom class starts before the event. You share your ideas, and the chef brainstorms with you to settle on a theme that suits the group, whether that means cooking from scratch, creative baking or cake decorating. The chef then plans the recipes around your preferences, dietary needs and event theme. On the day, the class runs like the chef's other sessions: a short demonstration, then guests cook or bake with their own hands while the chef guides each table. It is a way to build a fun and memorable culinary experience around your group instead of choosing from a fixed list.
How Many People Can Join?
When the chef travels, the custom cooking or baking class takes 10 to 120 guests. That range covers a ten-person team, a full department or a company-wide session in a large room. The class is priced per guest, and a flat travel charge is added once per booking for bringing the class to your location, so the full total appears before you request to book.
Where It Happens
For this version of the custom cooking or baking class, the chef travels to the customer: your office, a meeting room or another business venue in San Francisco and nearby. The chef travels to corporate offices and business venues only, not private homes. Bringing the class on site keeps the group in a familiar space and saves everyone a commute. Groups that would rather use a ready-made setting can book the same class at the chef's private dining room in San Francisco, which takes up to 60 guests.
Good Fit For
Companies comparing corporate team building cooking classes get a fixed two-hour format with one chef leading the whole session. As cooking team building, the custom cooking or baking class gives every guest a station, a task and a shared result.
- Team building events with a theme of your choice
- Work anniversaries with a menu chosen by the team
- Birthday celebrations for adults
- Holiday parties with a seasonal menu
- Company celebrations and team milestones
Who Teaches the Class
The owner and chef instructor teaches every session. With 15 years as a culinary instructor, more than 400 classes and over 12,000 students over the past eight years, she specializes in interactive team-building cooking experiences for corporate clients. Her background runs from Southeast Asian cooking to Italian cuisine, pastry arts and cake decorating, and she has taught culinary arts at several schools and trained with experienced pastry professionals at a local bakery. Guests often mention how fantastic and funny she is as a teacher.
Can the Menu Work for Dietary Needs?
Yes. Ingredients, recipes and menus for the custom cooking or baking class are fully customizable to suit preferences, dietary needs and the event theme. Allergies and dietary needs are confirmed at least seven days before class, which gives the chef time to plan substitutions for the whole group.
Planning Notes
The onsite custom cooking or baking class runs two hours, so it slots into a workday afternoon or follows a meeting. Book at least seven days ahead: allergies and dietary needs are confirmed seven or more days before class, and rescheduling also needs seven days of notice. The class involves sharp tools and hot surfaces, so participation is at each guest's own risk, and photos or videos may be taken during the session.
