FOR YOU
TO DO
To ship kits, we must have names and addresses 3 weeks in advance. Planning for event should begin at least 2 weeks prior to event
STANDARD POLICY FOOTNOTE: Once you pay for the event, our ConnectRcentral vendor has reserved that date and time for you and thus will turn down any other event for that time slot. Bookings are final. However, things happen so if you need to change a date, we will do our best (but there are no guarantees) to see if the vendor can reschedule your event.
My team loved [the] cooking class! It was a great way for us to socialize virtually, and also pick up new culinary skills. I enjoyed how she interspersed the class with interesting exercises, a competitive twist and a wonderful surprise at the end to keep us engaged!
TEAM LEAD AT PINTEREST
Really loved this concept. I’ve done tons of team building work and never had any remote experiences that were that great- until now! Part of that is that covid is changing the way we think — the other part is that you just did a good job. This is the 4th cooking “experience” I’ve taken in the last 2 weeks. And yours was the best. Simple requirements- really all the ingredients and items are in decently stocked kitchens so it’s exciting to think “I could do this anytime” Clear instruction - instructor was clear and gave enough of the “why” but really made sure to “teach” the technique (was on one class today where the instructor threw ingredients in but the amounts were different than on the assignment list, but he didn’t say how much more, and they only let you text chat which can lag; another class an instructor has some similar issues but you were encouraged to interrupt and ask). Good flow- it’s hard to find the Goldilocks spot of moving the dish forward but not going to slow or too fast - but you did it!
