Theme cooking workshops in Rotterdam

Choose your favourite cuisine and cook a full 3-course menu together

In a theme workshop your group chooses one cuisine in advance. From fresh pasta to a full tapas buffet: our chefs put a menu together that you prepare in teams and then eat together at the table.

What makes this workshop special?

  • A choice of cuisines from around the world
  • Everyone cooks at the same time in the same room
  • For tapas, a full buffet you can eat as much of as you like

The running order

How the Theme workshop unfolds

  1. Choose your theme

    You choose the theme in advance. We agree the menu and any dietary needs with you.

  2. Welcome

    You are welcomed with a welcome drink, freshly baked bread, crisps and nuts.

  3. Briefing and teams

    After the welcome drinks the chef explains the house rules and we split the group into teams that start at the same time in our spacious kitchen. Wash your hands first, then begin straight away.

  4. Cooking together

    Guided by our chefs and with clear recipes, everyone joins in, with a glass of house wine, beer, soft drink or juice within reach. The group is split across starter, main and dessert and cooks at the same time in the same room.

  5. Dining together

    When everything is nearly ready, the main-course and dessert teams sit down and the starter team serves. After each course our team clears away and the next course follows. In the tapas workshop you make a buffet together that everyone can eat as much of as they like.

  6. Coffee and tea buffet

    After dessert you finish downstairs at the coffee and tea buffet, with fresh coffee, organic tea and chocolate.
