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.

Agenda / Run of show

A breakdown of how the 60 min runs.

    The chef leads the dish step by step, at a pace the whole group can follow, with tips as you go.

    Team break

    While something rests or bakes, the host runs a short icebreaker or trivia round.

    Bring it together, plate it up and learn how a chef would serve it.

  6. 0:52 – 1:00

What guests said about this experience

Verified guest

Same premise as the Pickle Party listing — bring your own produce, they send a suggestion list — but this one covers jam as well as pickling, which is the more useful pairing since between them they cover almost anything you'd otherwise throw away. The pectin explanation was the technical bit worth having: which fruits set on their own, which need help, and how to test for a set with a cold plate rather than guessing.

Emerson

Verified guest

Easy to organize with the significant caveat that participants supply their own ingredients, so the list has to go out well in advance. Send it a week ahead, not the day before. Beyond that there's no delivery to chase and no equipment beyond jars, which people mostly had already.

Mina

Verified guest

I'd never made jam and had assumed it involved specialist equipment and a thermometer. It doesn't — it's fruit, sugar, acid and time, and the cold plate test replaces the thermometer entirely. Mine set properly on the second attempt. The quick pickles are even simpler and were ready to eat that evening.

Alex

Verified guest

Good to do with children helping, since the chopping is the only sharp part and everything else is measuring and pouring. Ours were mostly interested in the jam and in labelling the jars, which took considerably longer than the cooking. We've made two more batches since on weekends.
