We believe food is the gateway to the soul and that cooking is an expression of the way we operate in the world. Your personality shows its true colours when the hollandaise breaks or the brandy snaps burn! Culinary Teambuilding identifies the right fit for the client’s objective.

My wheedling excuse for solitude: I don’t want crab juice to splash over my fellow cooks. Hmmm…doesn’t play well with others, devious too. It’s just as well that I’m not being judged for suitedness to the business world. Full article » |
