    I was one of 12 people invited along to experience the delights (we hoped) of VictorsFood and, wow!!!, we were certainly not disappointed. We were split into 2 teams of 6, each with our own chef and we were then taught/tutored/coached thru a number of techniques starting with the all important knife skills. Our chef was not only knowledgeable but he also had a great personality & a great sense of humour. The evening was interactive, competitive (we had to beat the other team of course with our fine displays of culinary mastery!!!!!) and a whole heap of fun!! And on top of that we managed to learn a few things as well.
    We were taught to prepare, cook, and present our masterpieces - and best of all we then sat down together to consume what turned out to be an absolute banquet.

    I would highly recommend this as a brilliant team-building event or simply for a group of friends wanting to try something a little different.

    Thanks to everyone for a great night & well done VictorsFood.

    Wow! I was 'dragged' along to a Cooking Team Building Event that was run by VictorsFood. I've always found it best for the safety of others that I stay well clear of a kitchen!

    Needless to say I was apprehensive about an evening of learning knife skills, chopping tips, and cooking techniques. However, we were all gently eased into the evening, by starting off with some basic cutting, chopping and preparation techniques, I didn't feel as if I was the only first timer in the kitchen!

    As we stepped through the evening - a true culinary extravaganza - the seemingly impossible was coming together... within a couple of hours we were all sitting down enjoying fantastic Mexican food. Tasty food that not only looked liked it deserved to be on the cover of one of those 'recipe book' things, but I even had a hand in creating.

    But wait, there's more... I made sure I was home early enough the next night to refine the skills I learnt the night before!

    Thanks team at VictorsFood. An awesome experience!

    Ouvrir ran a client event with VictorsFood. We decided to engage with our customers by involving them in a team building event. Cooking is a great leveler, and the event was great fun - we're still talking about it some time later.

    The cooking class with Victor at EQ was a fantastic experience. Everything was so well organised. Victor has eyes everywhere, making sure that everybody learns to the max and has fun doing it! We created an unbelievably exquisite meal and I went home feeling totally nourished, both body and soul. Thank you, Victor and team!

    I was a little apprehensive about tackling a Mexican cookery class because although I love eating Mexican food, I haven't had much experience of cooking it. However, I forced myself out of my comfort zone to brave the challenge of baring my ignorance in front of 11 complete strangers.

    As soon as I arrived, my mood instantly lifted. Not only did I find parking without too much difficulty but the apartment where the class was held was light,and airy with fabulous views. Vibrant music wound its way through the room around the large wooden table and counter where most of the action would be taking place and a bottle of wine stood, cap off, at the ready for those of us who needed a little liquid encouragement.

    All of the novices wore chefs' hats with our names written on them which made us feel familiar and comfortable with each other from the start. Victor introduced himself and also his colleague and friend Tawnya and then gave us an illuminating talk on Mexican food, his extensive experiences of cooking with it and eating it here, and more particularly in Mexico and the States. We were also given various different Mexican ingredients to try with information on where we could purchase them. This information was also written down on a fact sheet to take home. Finally he gave us a brief and extremely helpful lesson in knife skills - well helpful to those people who have a reasonable level of fine motor skills and are moderately coordinated, so not me.

    We were then split into two groups, six of us led by Victor and the other six by Tawnya and shared the task between us of creating the different recipes that Victor had put together for our class that day. We worked steadily, both individually and as teams, helping each other with chopping and cutting, taking turns to wash bowls and swapping cullinary confessions all the while. Some of us were noticeably more experienced cooks than others but we all seemed to recognise our strengths and work towards the common goal - of getting the food ready in time to be able to sit down and eat it in a relaxed and orderly fashion.

    The end result was amazing. Admittedly, I didn't get involved in the more complicated of the recipes but that suited me fine and it certainly didn't hamper my enjoyment when it came to tasting them - in fact rather the opposite. It was a bonding experience to sit down with people I barely knew and enjoy a hearty and delicious meal together which we had all contributed to in one way or another.

    Victor and Tawnya are both very talented chefs, and patient and gifted teachers who really know their subject matter well. Victor brings a tremendous passion, vibrancy and inspiration to the class and shows a real interest in the cooking and eating habits of his pupils while Tawnya projects a steady good humour and great sense of fun and provides a calming influence (along with the wine) for any frayed nerves.

    I learnt some very useful information at the class as well as meeting interesting new people. I can definitely recreate some, though not all, of the dishes we cooked and I have a far better overview of the Mexican cuisine and its many varied ingredients. I would highly recommend this class and would definitely sign up for another one.
