Hands- On Cooking

Get the whole team working collaboratively together and allow individuals to step up or help others without formal delegation or leadership roles. This creates an opportunity for self expression and an inclusive and level playing field for everyone to connect.

Fun Competition

Hands-on Cooking

Nothing like a bit of fun competition to encourage camaraderie and team spirit. Let us introduce you to some of our food fun challenges during the class.

Leadership Challenge

Hands-on Cooking

Want to try out new leaders or strengthen leadership qualities. You can delegate team leaders for your team day and we will give them additional responsibilities and roles for the day to challenge their leadership styles.

Small Team Work

Hands-on Cooking

Small team work is very effective at building new connections, breaking down personal barriers and strengthening cross departmental communication. We can format your class into multiple smaller groups who cook and eat together as a team.

Large Class Format

Hands-on Cooking

For larger classes over 30 people we can operate tag- team cooking challenges or have delegation into task/cooking areas and teams. We can use our indoor and outdoor spaces and have buffet style dining for mix and mingle opportunities.

Dinner and Cooking Demo

Sit back, Watch and Dine with Wine

Want to treat your team to a social event and have them entertained? They can sit back and relax, but rub shoulders with the chef and dine in our private restaurant. This format is a perfect option for rewarding your team and offers progressive cooking demonstrations and dining courses throughout the session. We can add wine tasting, wine matching and wine education into the event by request.

In one of our typical team building classes, you will first receive a warm welcome in our reception room by our host who will ensure everyone feels calm and informed about what the day has in store.  We assure participants that this is not Master Chef and they are not in danger of being eliminated!

You normally break for an entrée and a glass of wine mid way through the class and there is also plenty of time to celebrate and reflect on your achievements and dine on the delicious dishes you have created, at the sit down lunch or dinner at the end. Meals are accompanied by wine, beer and soft drink and bonding and camaraderie continues without interruption in the private dining room.

Everyone will receive a set of take-home recipes so that they can continue to recreate dishes for family and friends at home.  Corporate gift bags can also be arranged to add that special touch.

Sticky Rice Cooking School is an ideal year-round destination, close to the Stirling township in the Adelaide Hills, 20 mins from the CBD.  No matter the weather, we have you covered.  

Our custom-designed cooking school is an experience in its own right, with stunning décor and inspiring cultural influences.  We boast a large state of the art teaching kitchen, with plenty of room to move, as well as a separate ambient dining area.  Depending on your menu we also have an outdoor arena complete with grand Bail Hut and deluxe BBQ and outdoor cooking features.  

Our partnership with Electrolux, Koi Knives and Jag Kitchens ensures our facilities and equipment are top notch and our large indoor and outdoor premises are unique, inspiring and purpose built for an offsite team building event.

Don’t be deterred!  While our classes are hands-on, they are also a lot of fun.  

You’ll be surprised at how other members of your team will encourage and support individuals who might never have cooked before.  There is something for everyone to do and learn, and we always have fabulous feedback, even from the most reluctant of cooks!  

At Sticky Rice Cooking School we specialise in Asian, Middle Eastern and European cuisine and you can choose from an array of delicious menus that best suits your team.  

We can accommodate most dietary requirements and food allergies within the menu if we know the details in advance.

Your team will enjoy an entrée, and then a main meal served as a banquet for your team to share complete with local wines.  

Beer and soft drinks are also available. 

The team building classes are usually 4 hour sessions which include lunch or dinner depending on class timing. You would have a choice of menus in advance ( a banquet feast is prepared which is usually 4-5 dishes) and we work through any dietary requirements with you also. The class format also has choices of collaborative or competition style if you want teams etc.

With small or large groups that wish to book the cooking school to themselves you would be paying for a full private class which is $2190+GST.

You can invite up to 20 within this price.

If you are looking for something less expensive then we offer a private chef experience exclusively for up to 6 people. This is a 2.5 hour session cooking 3 dishes (a 3 course menu) between you and having a lunch or dinner. You also have the place to yourselves. So shorter and abbreviated cooking involvement but still enjoy an activity and sit down meal. The cost of this is $1450+GST
