Who says a team building activity needs to be boring? At Selfup, we offer team bonding right in the heart of New York that not only brings your team closer together, but builds critical cooking skills, and offers a delicious pizza pie to eat at the end of the event!

Our experienced chefs will teach your team how to create a pie that’s worthy of the most popular pizzerias in the city. Plus, everyone will take a hand in the process. This team building event requires everyone to work together – the outcome hinges on their ability to function as a cohesive team.

We begin with the basics – building an incredible pizza dough for the crust. Next, your team learns to stretch delicious mozzarella cheese and then dice and add the toppings. Finally, the pizza goes into an oven where it will bake to golden, delicious perfection.

If you’ve ever had the luxury of trying traditional French food, you probably know how richly satisfying it can be, but how hard it is to master. That’s why Selfup NYC designed authentic French group cooking classes–the perfect team-building activity for you to spruce up your culinary skills and learn how to make French delicacies–the right way.

In our French Steakhouse Team Building class, explore the flavors of France through prepping and cooking savory dishes that you'll be eager to recreate at home.

As a group, you’ll start off with the traditional Salade Niçoise - the go-to salad for summer. With crunchy lettuce, ripe tomatoes, potatoes, tuna, and soft-boiled eggs, it's full of flavor and texture.

Your next course–the Filet au Poivre–will certainly have your mind buzzing and mouth-watering. This prime cut of meat will be marinated in a spicy demi-glace which is concocted of brandy, green peppercorns, and drippings from the filet you’ll be cooking, because why waste what you can use? This filet and immaculately paired sauce could only be better with a French baguette, which will fill you up but not enough that you won’t have room for our authentic French dessert.

Team building experiences are a unique way to interact with friends, family, and colleagues in a low-pressure and playful environment, and what better way to bond than over a Creme Brûlée you made from scratch?

Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean eating bland food!

Our group cooking classes and team building activities at Selfup NYC are an exciting way to try out new ingredient combinations and learn innovative recipes in a social and inviting group setting. As a team, you will create a wholesome main entrée and a side dish from scratch that will nourish your mind, body, and soul.

To start off the team-building activity, our renowned chefs will teach you the basics of creating an ancient grain farro-based salad. Farro has a handful of health benefits and is packed with protein and fiber, which makes it a great substitute for other common, less nutritious starches such as rice and potatoes. In this cooking class, you’ll pair it with an assortment of herbs and fresh tomatoes for a refreshing starter to your main dish. This versatile grain is so delightful to eat that you’ll be dying to include it in your future dishes for added texture and nutrients.

For the main dish, you’ll utilize zoodles–also known as zucchini noodles–which you’ll form from scratch. Zucchini noodles are a fantastic noodle alternative to other carb-loaded noodle options that contain gluten. Zucchini noodles provide nutrients you won’t find in regular pasta, and their texture offers a unique spin on traditional-style noodles. To top it all off, you’ll be guided through making a delicately creamy avocado pesto sauce. All this yummy and healthy goodness is to be accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp to create a more dynamic and flavorful dish.

We want to encourage food lovers to practice mindful eating, and team-building activities provide a space to share knowledge on how beneficial and adaptable healthy foods truly are. What better way to engage in a team bonding experience than through learning how to fuel your body with healthy yet satiating foods that your whole family will love?

Get creative and try new things with your colleagues, friends, family, and loved ones. Share the love and get Selfup Cooking Class Gift Cards to bring this unique experience to those that are near and dear to you.
