Culinary School as Team Building

[LJC]

My company would like to host a Team Building event at a culinary school or restaurant. Ideally we would like to come in one afternoon, have some wine and beer and learn to cook or bake something together. Does anyone know of a school or restaurant that offers this kind of program? CIA offers one upstate but it is insanely expensive, like $7,000.00 for 10-15 people. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!

Institute of Culinary Education hosts private events like what you're requesting. Go to www.iceculinary.com or call 212-847-0700.

I highly recommend ICE. I spent two weeks there recently in classes, and thought the instructors were great. There were a number of team building events going on while I was there, and it sure sounded like everyone was having fun!

One other choice for you might be the Italian Culinary Center - you can check it out here.

I am a frequent recreational student at ICE and have been there during a number of their team events-they look good. Depending on the size of the group and when and what you want-especially if you want a little more personal type event, you might want to contact Micol Negrin (also an ICE instructor) at her studio via Rustico Cooking

I've been to Cooking by the Book twice for Team Building events. Really nice cozy place.
