Social Cooking hosts digital and physical cooking events throughout New Zealand. Bring your team. Just choose the challenge, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Choose from any of our specialised Masterchef style formats, and bring your workmates together for a fun, engaging team building event. Our events encourage creativity, problem solving, delegation, and breaking down barriers between team members. Everyone knows there’s nothing like cooking and eating together to build camaraderie and a positive culture. All our events include the event itself, guided by one of our team of professional chefs, all ingredients required to complete the challenge, and a meal shared by all team members to wrap up. We even throw in a delicious dessert with any of our three hour challenges. Our new interactive cooking challenges allow you to cook and reconnect with your workmates or the people you love. Compete against each other to prove who can produce the dish of the day! Our digital events can be hosted from the comfort of your own kitchen, connected via Zoom to our experienced Chefs. We can modify recipes and ingredients to suit any dietary requirements. Digital events range in duration from 30 to 90 minutes and are suitable for any number of Zoom connections. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, a functioning kitchen, and a few pantry basics. We love to welcome private groups to Social Cooking, for Birthday Parties, Anniversaries, or just a celebration with friends! Celebrate your big event with friends, family, or both. Feel free to bring all the trimmings to make your party your own. Decorate the room with birthday balloons, hang streamers for 50th birthday parties or anniversaries, we’ll help you bring your vision to life!

But today, we’re reaching out to you for more than just a culinary adventure. We're rallying our community to support our friends in Nepal, who are facing unimaginable challenges due to devastating floods. 💔

Together, let's turn our love for food into a love for humanity. We can make a difference, and every little bit counts! Whether you’re able to donate, attend our special fundraising event, or simply spread the word, your support is invaluable. 🙌❤️
