Entrees to Excellence:
Culinary Team Building and Celebration Events

An executive's place is in the kitchen--at least when it comes to teambuilding. Leadership and teamwork are integral to every successful business. Discerning Taste’s Corporate Programs provide a delicious array of epicurean event services including Culinary Team Building, Corporate Wellness Programs, Lifestyle Incentives, and other dynamic ways to engage with food, wine, and culture as a catalyst for professional development and celebrations.

Our culinary workshops are not just cooking classes, each program combines corporate training with the culinary arts to improve team performance, group communication, and problem solving. Preparing food or planning an event, parallels the work environment in calling for resource and time management, specific task assignments, and coordination and communication between several parties. Cuisine is a great leveler; everyone is comfortable with it and we all need it for our sustenance. The idea is to be placed in a new environment and situations where one is given restricted time, limited resources, and new tools to create great results that you can transfer back to the workplace.
