Want to whip up some corporate team spirit? Let's get cooking!
Forget the awkward icebreakers and forgettable dinners.
At Cooking With Company PDX, your team rolls up their sleeves, makes everything from scratch — pasta, sauces, dessert — and then sits down together to eat what they've made, in a beautifully set dining room, in proper fine dining style.
There's always a little friendly competition in the room by the time the pasta hits the table. And somehow, it brings out the best in everyone — even the ones who swore they couldn't cook.
Led by Chef Claire, a Michelin Star trained chef, these afternoons or evenings are warm, hands-on, genuinely fun, and quietly impressive. The kind of event people recreate at home weeks later.
Your team will be talking about this one for a long time!
Groups of 8–16 people. Every dietary requirement — vegan, gluten free, and everything in between — is handled personally by Claire before your event. No hidden extras. Everything is included. $150 per person
What’s Included:
Arrival - Welcome Cocktail - N/A Options
In The Kitchen - Two courses made entirely from scratch, working in pairs
At the dining table - A glass of wine with dinner
On The Side - Farmers market salad with our house dressing
To take home - Recipes + any desserts made in class
Throughout the evening - The stories behind your ingredients — salt, nutmeg, pasta and more
What makes Cooking With Company Different?
Everyone makes their own food. No shared dishes, no spectating. You leave having actually cooked something.
A real fine dining finish. Once you've cooked, the room transforms. Properly laid table, proper dinner, the whole thing.
Encouraging, not intimidating. Claire is known for making even the most nervous cook feel brilliant in the kitchen.
Small groups only — never more than 16. This always feels personal, never like a production line.
250+ five-star Google reviews from individuals, couples and corporate teams across Portland.
