You can choose to cook together in ourcooking studios(in Stockholm at our partnerThe Foodlab) or have us come to you – always with our mobile kitchens ready.
Kick-off activities that build cohesion
We understand the importance of a fun and meaningful kick-off. Our chefs help you create interactive cooking where everyone takes part, with options such as team-based competitions where participants prepare different dishes. Whether you choose a starter or a dessert, your team will gather around a lovely food experience.
Kick-off with work
A flavourful kick-off strengthens both community and motivation. We create a memorable and inspiring day, whether you prefer to cook with us or in the comfort of your own office. Our chefs lead you through an experience full of knowledge and joy, where everyone can contribute to a fantastic meal and a stronger team spirit.
Kick-off cooking – at your place or in the studio
Kick-off cooking gives the group something to do together and something to talk about afterwards. Our professional chefs lead the activity at your company, in a studio or remotely, and we adapt the set-up to how many you are.
Rent a Chef’s chefs also work atThe Foodlab, our cooking studio in Vasastan in Stockholm, and we cooperate on cooking events in the studio. If you want the kick-off in a studio in Stockholm we will help you get there.
Kick-off cooking suits both small teams and large groups. We plan kick-off cooking according to your purpose, your date and your budget, so that the day gets the tone you want. Many choose to combine kick-off cooking with a presentation, a workshop or a shared dinner afterwards.

How kick-off cooking works
Kick-off cooking starts with the chef presenting the menu and dividing the group into teams. Each team gets a task, for example starter, main course or dessert, and the chef goes around and helps. When the food is ready everyone eats together, and many appreciate how easily the conversation flows when you have just cooked something together. We take allergies and special diets into account, and we can adapt the menu to season, theme or country.
Kick-off cooking can be held at your workplace, in your own conference room or in the cooking studio in Vasastan. We bring ingredients, equipment and chefs, and we clean up after ourselves. For groups from ten to several hundred people we divide the participants into several stations so that everyone gets to do something. Contact us with your preferred date and you will receive a proposal and a quote.
Common set-ups for kick-off cooking at work
The most common choices are a competition between teams, a shared three-course dinner and a buffet where everyone cooks a part. Some companies choose a theme such as Italian, Asian or Swedish home cooking, others want a menu that ties in with the year’s goals. We help you choose a set-up for kick-off cooking based on the group’s size, experience and time, and we suggest both simple and more challenging menus. Kick-off cooking usually takes between two and four hours, and we adjust the length to your programme.
Rent a Chef has something other competitors often lack. Passion! The reception is warm and honest. It feels like getting away for a while to cook with Rent a Chef. Thank you for wonderful experiences and many more to come.
