Customer Reviews
My team had an exceptional 4-hour cooking class experience. The friendly instructors made the demonstrations easy to follow, and the hands-on cooking session was perfect for collaboration, communication, and enjoying ourselves. The constant availability to answer questions was fantastic, and finishing the activity with a relaxed dinner made it an outstanding and highly engaging team-building choice.
I had a super evening with my colleagues cooking with Alix in Dublin. Great experience cooking together and the added bonus was we ate the results 😃
Booked a team night out at Alix's cookery school and it was very well organised, relaxed and fun.. What I enjoyed the most (apart from the gorgeous food) was that we had the place to ourselves so we could chat freely and roam around the room chatting to different colleagues, something you don't get when you just go out for dinner. We all sat together at the end and ate the food that we made - around a big old farmhouse type table. It felt like we had gone to someone's house for dinner but no-one had to cook (or wash up!). We will definitely be back again, thanks Alix and team!
