Cooking and Communication

Culinary Teambuilding Activities are becoming very popular in the corporate market, we have seen a major increase in these types of requests due to the fully immersive nature of the experiences. This activity is designed to encourage communication in a fun, structured way. It has all of the ingredients for the perfect teambuilding activity, and It requires all the elements of communication to be used:

How to interpret a message
How to analyse the meaning
How to formulate your method of communication
How to communicate with others
How to engage in active listening
How to make sure your message is understood
The importance of non verbal communication

In pairs you will be given a simple Spanish recipe to prepare, however one of you will be blindfolded while the other must keep their hands tucked into the apron at all times. Simply by using your powers of communication the “chef” must interpret the recipe and give the orders to the “cook” who will have no choice but to take the instructions literally and trust in the partners advice. After the first dish is prepared, the partners swap and try and improve on the experience by building on what they have learnt.
