“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… the people who give you their food give you their heart.”
Corporate Team Building At PREP Cooking Classes
We approach corporate team building from the premise that good food inevitably brings out the best in people. Generally designed to be “hands-on" and participatory, everyone will break into teams to make several recipes on the menu. Embodying the fact teamwork, coordination, and cooperation are the keys to success at work and in the kitchen.
Corporate team building can be tailored to fit individual or team participation, with or without team building emphasis and activities. Plus, all of our recipes are made entirely from scratch, from fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.
We’ve hosted thousands of highly satisfied guests including Walmart, Boeing, Roxy, Toyota, Too Faced Cosmetics, Long Beach Visitors Bureau, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo, Hurley, Charles Schwab, Experian, Gallo Wines and many, many others!
BOUTIQUE WINE BAR WITH CRAFT BEER
Feeling parched? Our beautiful wine bar is the perfect place for you and your team to enjoy hand selected boutique wines and local craft beers.
TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES
Culinary contests and competitions can be at the core of your class where you will be awarded points for categories like organization, cooperation, taste and presentation.
COMPANY PARTIES
For a unique and fun way to reward your team members, schedule a private cooking class that allows them to learn, share, and enjoy great food and good times far removed from the workplace. Perfect for holiday celebrations to retirement parties, or to just get away for an afternoon.

We all know kitchens make great gathering places. Our spacious and inviting kitchen is a fantastic place to host a group of clients and enjoy a delicious and satisfying social or business meal. Our classes provide an informative, casual, and cost-effective environment for your team to build new business relationships and acknowledge established ones.
