How Do Virtual Team Building Events Work?

Updated: Dec 3, 2020



Sacred Kitchen

Brings accessible and delicious recipes from all over the world to your kitchen.

Our passion is flavor and we can’t wait to share a meal with you!


We believe, cooking together is a celebration and making great food is a delight. Things have changed, but we can still have both--even in a virtual world.


Here is how our Virtual Culinary Events work in a nutshell:


1. Log-in, Suit up, Say Hello-

  • Guests are encouraged to slip into chef gear, costumes or funny hats and meet the lively professional chefs with whom they’ll work side by side.

2. Collective Unboxing--

  • We send a mystery box of ingredients (and shopping list). Opening a mystery box package with your friends is delightful--even if it’s virtual.

3. Cook Together

  • Our talented chefs offer demos, answer questions, and cook along with your guests to finish the event’s pre-selected menu or challenge.

  • Once the cooking is finished, everyone is invited to share and enjoy their culinary creations while relaxing in the comfort of their own home.


Our two basic offerings

  1. Virtual cooking classes- (nice and collaborative) and

  2. Virtual Iron Chef Style Events- (Hey, there is nothing quite like competition to get the energy moving. right?)


Here's how it works:

  1. Event Consultation- We chat and produce a customized event plan

  2. 1 week pre-event- your team receives a welcome email giving them all the necessary

  3. 1-2 Days pre-Event--Mystery Box Arrives-With some fun hats and a mysterious box that’s not to be opened.

  4. 1 Day before the event--

    1. Buy a few fresh ingredients (if needed)-Using our shopping lists or one click shopping Whole Foods Market extension

    2. Receive a reminder email from Sacred Kitchen with all the last minute details.

  5. Day of the event--Prepare the kitchen- Guests get their kitchen dialed.

  6. Pre-game--Make a cocktail/mocktail- Our kits provided everything you need to make a beverage. Have it ready to go for show and tell.

  7. Event time--Let's go! Get ready for the most hilarious, engaging and delicious virtual experience of 2020.

About our Mystery Boxes

Bring the thrill of cooking TV shows to your event by adding a Mystery Box of ingredients for each guest to incorporate into their dish. Select specialty ingredients that relate to your company’s product or values, or let us choose some fun and unusual ingredients.


We bring an attention to detail, making sure every ingredient has been thought about and the smallest finishing touches to create a memorable and delightful shared experience.


Moments of collective unboxing create a real connection point during these isolated times so we design everything to be super duper cute!

Virtual Cooking Classes


Sacred Kitchen’s Virtual Cooking Classes are a great way to learn a new dish or cuisine! Your guests work alongside our talented chef instructors and learn by cooking recipes side-by-side in real time with our staff, learning tricks, tips, techniques and culinary best practices. At the end each member of your group enjoys a delicious meal of their own creation.

Guests will work with that group’s own Chef Instructor to create a dish using a protein plus two other elements, potentially including Mystery Ingredients that each participant must feature in their dish! Each team selects a winning dish, and team finalists will then face off against each other - with the final winner awarded as the evening’s grand champion!
