Team Building in the Kitchen: a culinary adventure in Warsaw

19 September, 2024

At AF TRANS, we believe that strong teamwork is the backbone of our success. Recently, we organized an exciting team-building event for heads of our departments and colleagues from the Warsaw office — a cooking masterclass that brought us together in a fun and challenging environment.

A Recipe for Success
It all began with a buzz of excitement as team members gathered in the spacious kitchen area, ready to embark on a culinary adventure. Under the guidance of a professional chef, we divided into smaller groups, each needed to prepare four delicious dishes from scratch. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, chatter, and the delightful aroma of fresh ingredients.

Cooking Up Collaboration
As we donned our aprons and rolled up our sleeves, it quickly became clear that this was not just about cooking; it was about collaboration. Each group was responsible for their own dishes, requiring effective communication and teamwork to ensure everything came together seamlessly. From chopping vegetables to perfecting sauces, every task demanded creativity and cooperation.

The dishes we prepared included:
  • Focaccia with cherry tomatoes and Italian herbs
  • Dorada baked under salted pancetta
  • Patatas bravas
  • Cigar made of phyllo dough with pistachio

Challenges and Triumphs
Throughout the masterclass, we faced various challenges—timing issues, ingredient mishaps, and the occasional kitchen mishap. However, these obstacles only strengthened our resolve. Colleagues stepped up to support one another, sharing tips and encouraging each other when things didn’t go as planned.
As the final dishes were plated, a sense of accomplishment filled the room. We had not only created delicious meals but also forged deeper connections with one another. The experience highlighted the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and problem-solving—skills that are essential in our daily work.

A Taste of Success
Once all the dishes were complete, we gathered around the table to enjoy our culinary creations. The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter. Sharing stories about our personal cooking experiences and celebrating our successes made the meal even more enjoyable.

This cooking masterclass was more than just having fun. It was an opportunity to strengthen our team dynamics and foster a sense of unity among colleagues. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, experiences like these remind us of the importance of collaboration and communication.

At AF TRANS, we are committed to creating a positive work environment where everyone feels valued and connected.
