Description

Cinco de Mayo is a fantastic opportunity to bring your team together for a fun and engaging team-building event.

Process and timeline

From the moment you book to the moment the chef says hello.

  1. When you book

    Hold your date

    A $250 deposit reserves the date and comes off the total in full. Dates 2 weeks out book instantly; sooner than that, ask and we can often expedite.

  2. Within a day

    Your event planner gets in touch

    Every event gets a dedicated planner, at no cost. They shape it around your team — the menu, the timings, dietary needs, and the parts that make it yours.

    • Free customization of the menu and the run of show
    • Free engagement games to open or close the session
    • Extra cheers, toasts and shout-outs for birthdays, wins and farewells
    • Dietary adjustments for anyone who needs them
  3. A week before

    Your shopping list arrives

    Suggestions rather than a fixed list, so everyone can work with what is already in their kitchen. Bring your own produce, jars and whatever else you fancy putting up.

  4. Event day

    Everyone joins and the chef takes it from there

    One link, no software to install. Your planner is on hand in the background if anything needs sorting mid-event.

How to join

Default video platform

Zoom

  • Your event planner sends the Zoom link with your confirmation, and again the day before.
  • Prefer Microsoft Teams or Google Meet? Say so when you book and your host will run it there instead.
  • No account or download needed for guests — the link opens in a browser.

Things you'll need

Everything else is in the box we ship to each guest.

To join

  • A laptop or tablet with a camera
  • A stable internet connection
  • Somewhere to prop the screen where you cook

Kitchen equipment

  • A chopping board and a sharp knife
  • Mixing bowls — large and small
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • A large pan or skillet
  • A stove, and an oven if your chef calls for it

Also handy

  • Salt, pepper and cooking oil
  • A kitchen towel
  • Somewhere clear to work
  • An appetite

Bring your own

Nothing ships — you bring the ingredients

Shopping list
Sent ahead of the session, with suggestions rather than a fixed list — the point is to use what you already have.
Equipment
Whatever you cook with at home. Nothing specialised is needed.
Lead time
Short, and that is the advantage: with nothing to ship, this one can still make a date the others cannot.
Instant booking
Available for events at least 2 weeks out. Sooner than that, ask us — we can often expedite.

What guests said about this experience

Verified guest

This is a menu collection for the date rather than a fixed class, so the experience depends on which dish you pick — tacos, churros and a margarita session are all options and they're very different events. Worth asking which suits your group before booking. What I appreciated is that the framing is about Mexican food properly rather than the party-stereotype version of the holiday, and there's a brief and unpatronising note on what Cinco de Mayo actually commemorates.

Casey

Verified guest

We ran it as a May team event and the flexibility was the useful part — we combined a food menu with a drinks add-on and it worked as a single session rather than two bolted together. The cooking was taught seriously, which matters if you want the date marked rather than used as an excuse for a theme.

Finley

Verified guest

Brought the occasion to life without leaning on the clichés, which I'd been slightly braced for. The energy suited a group of about thirty and the session stayed lively across the full hour. Easy to recommend if you want something for the date that people will actually enjoy rather than tolerate.

Julian

Verified guest

Chef Emily was engaging throughout and good at keeping a large group involved across a session where people had chosen slightly different things to make. She checked in individually rather than broadcasting at everyone, which is harder than it sounds with that many pans going. The pacing left room for questions without the hour running away.
