Corporate Cooking Classes

Why Healthy Cooking Demos Matter

Healthy cooking demos combine nutrition education, team-building, and hands-on fun — all in one event. Led by a certified nutritionist, each session shows employees how to prepare tasty, balanced meals they can confidently recreate over and over. The result:

Drives healthier behaviours: when people learn to cook balanced meals, the impact extends beyond the class into daily life
Reinforces you care: offering an experience vs just content shows investment in whole-person wellbeing
Humanizes wellness: employees tune in from home kitchens, making it real and relatable
Builds camaraderie across locations

How Strive’s Corporate Cooking Classes Work

We collaborate on theme, cuisine, and logistics (dietary restrictions, time zones, tech platform)
Employees register via our platform → automated invites, ingredient lists, and reminders keep attendance high
On class day, a certified nutritionist leads a live, interactive session (45–60 minutes) — you watch, ask questions, cook along

Whether your teams are in one office, spread across multiple sites, or fully remote, our virtual format adapts and integrates without adding complexity.

What You and Your Employees Get

Here’s what you deliver to your organization when you run one of these demos:

Optional add-ons: themes (healthy snacks, mocktails, meal-prep, family inclusive)

Members leave with more than a meal — they leave with new skills, a fond memory, and stronger connection to your wellness program.

FAQs

What is a virtual cooking demo and how does it work?

A virtual cooking demo is a live, interactive online session where a certified nutritionist guides participants through preparing recipes from start to finish. With Strive, you pick the cuisine or theme, employees register via our platform, we provide the ingredient list and logistics, and the event runs in real-time across remote or hybrid teams.

Do you do onsite cooking demos?

We do! But it varies by geographic location, space accommodations, and available equipment. Onsite demos also require a larger budget than virtual demos.

Can the cooking demo be tailored to our needs (theme, dietary restrictions, virtual vs onsite)?

Yes. You can pick the cuisine, recipe themes, or wellness focus (e.g., plant-based, budget-friendly meals, specific dietary restrictions). While virtual is the default for broad reach, the model also supports onsite where feasible.

How long are the sessions and what do participants need to prepare?

Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, depending on the number of recipes/demo complexity.
Participants receive an ingredient list, and for virtual sessions may optionally cook along. No extensive prep is required, and all instructions are provided ahead of time.

Can we purchase the ingredients for our employees?

Yes! In fact, this tends to increase engagement. Ask us how we help facilitate this process.

How do we manage ingredient lists, equipment, and logistics for virtual participants?

Strive provides automated registration, reminders, and ingredient lists/instructions before the event. For virtual events, participants need a basic kitchen setup (stove, pans, etc). We handle all planning, registration, technical support, and recipe materials.
