Cooking Classes

Grilled Vegetable Orzo Salad dreamed up by
a team who had a basket of ingredients
and 30 minutes to make something yummy!

Individual, Group or Corporate Teambuilding

Want to socialize, drink a glass of wine and use sharp knives at the same time? Black Radish Chef Mader brings the fun and learning to you with cooking classes to fit every need.

One on one lessons are great because we work in your kitchen – where you are totally comfortable. We will bring the groceries and focus on whatever cuisine or technique you want to learn at the speed in which you want to learn it.

Group classes are a blast and can be a fun way to celebrate a girls night in, a birthday party or just perk up an otherwise typical Saturday night. These classes can be held in your home, or in a rented kitchen space depending on the number of attendees. Best of all be prepared to nibble and bite your way through the evening to your heart’s content!

Corporate teambuilding classes bring your team together by focusing on cooperation and brainstorming under the pressure of a time limit. Different levels of exercises are offered to fit the needs of your team – whether the main goal is to motivate and conquer or just to blow off some steam and have fun! Buffet style dinners can be offered at the end of the exercise to leave the class on a high note.
