Gastro team building
Cook together – and become a stronger team
Cooking team building brings colleagues together around a shared goal: a menu that has to be ready on time. You split the roles, solve tasks under time pressure and end the day at the table with what you have created together.
Humanic Group offers three gastro concepts – from gourmet food over a campfire in nature to a cook-off in the kitchen and a short, creative chocolate workshop. All three are led by our instructors, and ingredients and equipment are included in the price.

Three concepts for cooking team building
Cooking over open fire
Wildlife Cooking
4 hoursOutdoors in nature10–500+ participants
Wildlife Cooking moves the kitchen out into nature. In teams of 6–7 people, you cook a 3-course gourmet menu over a campfire and open fire with fresh ingredients, equipment and tableware that we bring.
Along the way, the teams compete in small challenges such as "Master of Fire" and "Nature's Pantry", where you can win extra ingredients and advantages for your menu. The day ends with a shared long-table dinner where the teams' dishes are tasted and the winning team is crowned.
- 3-course menu over the fire
- Small nature challenges for extra ingredients
- Long-table dinner outdoors
Where: At nature centres and nature schools in most of Denmark – or on your own lawn or open space.

Cook-off with a judging panel
Team Masterchefs

Team Masterchefs turns you into a kitchen brigade. In small teams, you create a 3-course gourmet menu under tight deadlines, with tasting challenges and extra tasks that can give you an edge in the competition.
When time is up, each team presents its starter, main course and dessert to the judging panel. Afterwards everyone sits down to enjoy the teams' dishes at a shared dinner – with room for a glass of wine and good conversation all the way.
- 3-course gourmet menu against the clock
- Judging panel scores the dishes

Why it works
Why cooking as team building?
- Collaboration under time pressureThe menu has to be ready on time. That takes everyone's contribution – and the team quickly finding its rhythm.
- Roles and communicationWho plans, who seasons, and who keeps the time? The kitchen makes the team's roles and agreements visible.
- Relationships across the organisationTeams are mixed, and conversation flows around the pots. Colleagues who rarely work together get to know each other.
- A shared mealThe day ends at the table with what you have created together. That is where the sense of community really settles.
- Everyone can take partNo cooking skills needed. The instructors guide you, and the tasks are adapted to the team.
- With substance, if you likeCombine it with an Insights Discovery or Everything DiSC workshop, and use the cooking to practise what you have learned.

Frequently asked questions
Team building with cooking – questions and answers
What if it rains or the weather is bad?
Humanic Group has concepts for indoor settings, and at short notice we can switch the concept to an alternative that suits your premises. We call it our "weather guarantee", and it means we can deliver a great event whether the weather is good or bad.
Who decides whether the weather is bad and we should move indoors?
You do. Many clients love being outside in all kinds of weather and want the energy of the fresh air. But if you want to move into your premises, we will make it happen.
Can the team building be tailored to our company?
Yes. We build the content around your values, brand and core story, so the activity is both fun and supports what you want to strengthen in the team.
Should it be fun or have substance?
Both are possible: fun, bonding productions that create energy and team spirit – or concepts with substance, where the team takes concrete learning home.
How many participants can take part?
Anything from small teams and management groups to large employee days with several hundred participants. The activities are adapted to the number of participants and the duration.
How do we get a quote?
