TEAM BUILDING COOKING EVENTS

Urban Graze offers unique events to our corporate customers.  Corporate groups enjoy the ‘team building’ activities that cooking classes naturally create. We can customise special cooking programs to suit the needs of your company. Urban Graze offers different and unique styles of cooking classes from our normal four course class to our ‘Think like a Chef’ challenge.


Iron Chef Mystery Ingredient
Corporate groups enjoy the 'team building' activities that cooking classes naturally create. We can customise special cooking programs to suit the needs of your company. The ‘Iron Chef Mystery Ingredient’ session is designed to enhance the creativity of the group. The teams of four to six will race against the clock to create three dishes featuring the ‘mystery ingredient’. The teams cook for each other with the guidance of Joel and Tarrah to create their own dishes. Team members will be supplied with recipes, all ingredients and culinary assistance.

Team Building ‘Think like a Chef’ Challenge
The ‘Think like a Chef’ session involves menu planning, budgeting, time management, purchasing, food preparation and plating a three course meal. Team members have six hours to complete the task.  After the initial menu is planned with a cash budget in one hand and a shopping list in another, the team will go to selected shops to purchase their ingredients in a given time frame.  Any amount over the budget comes out of their own pockets!  Each person is allocated a position in the kitchen such as head chef, sous chef, larder, etc.

Basic Classes
Urban Graze can also accommodate your company with our regular classes.  Simply choose a particular style that interests you and we can customise a special corporate class for just $95 + GST.

飲茶

Yum Cha is a term in Cantonese which means "drink tea".  It refers to the custom of eating small servings of different foods while sipping Chinese tea.  Yum Cha is the term used to describe the dining session.

Dim Sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light, delicate dishes served alongside Chinese tea.  Dim Sum are the words to describe the style of food.

Urban Graze will show your group how to make 6 of the most popular deluxe Dim Sum dishes including everybody’s favourite, salt & pepper squid.  There will also be lots of steamed goodies including how to make beautiful transparent pastry.  You will get the opportunity to make all of the pastries and fillings from scratch and everyone will make all 6 items.  Once all is prepared, we will fire up the woks and fryers and cook what we have just made, then sit down to Chinese tea and of course plenty of dim sum.

At the beginning of the class we will go through some essential Chinese ingredients which can all be bought at any Asian Grocer.  You will be given a copy of the ingredient list as well as all of the recipes to take home with you.
