If you are looking for a fun virtual holiday team building activity or a virtual holiday party - look no further!

If your team is spread out across the country, you may not be able to come together in person to celebrate your accomplishments as a team, but you can still have a fun and engaging virtual holiday party. Team-building virtual cooking classes are a great way to unite remote employees and allow them a relaxed place to reconnect.

My name is Jesse Lane Lee and I am a Holistic Nutritionist who loves teaching others that healthy eating can be fun, easy, and most of all delicious.

During the one-hour class, we make two festive recipes from start to finish

I encourage engagement, share health benefits, and cooking tips

The recipe is sent before the class and ingredient kit delivery is available

A team building virtual holiday cooking class is a fun way to bring people together to connect over yummy food

Virtual Holiday Party

Want to make it a virtual holiday happy hour? Each of my virtual holiday cooking classes comes with a cocktail or mocktail option.

My team-building cooking classes are a fun twist on virtual happy hour because not only do we chat, but we also make yummy (and healthy) festive food. My cooking classes also make a fun and festive virtual holiday party where we connect and learn new recipes together as a team.

Unite Teams Across the Country

Team-building events are no longer limited to your local office. With virtual cooking classes, you can unite teams across the country or world.

It is important to look for opportunities to bring your team together virtually to boost morale, foster connection, and learn a new skill. My enthusiasm for healthy living is contagious and as such, I would love the opportunity to partner with your company to increase overall employee productivity, engagement, and satisfaction while working remotely.

How the Virtual Cooking Class Works

Cooking classes are run through Zoom or your preferred platform. Before the class, I will send you a PDF with the recipe(s), grocery list, and equipment list. I can also send everyone ingredient kits so they have everything they need to make the recipes.

During the team building virtual cooking class, we cook together in real time. I answer questions, share cooking tips, and explain the health benefits of the ingredients. I encourage interaction and create an experience that fosters engagement with all attendees. A replay of the class is available for those who cannot attend.

Why Corporate Wellness Matters

Employee well-being is an organizational responsibility, not simply a personal health matter. Progressive team leaders are embracing the growing desire for integrated wellness in the workplace as a means to improve employee health and productivity.

My team-building virtual cooking class brings your team together to boost morale, foster connection, and learn a new skill.

What my clients are saying

Jesse Lane is an incredible professional with great knowledge of food and nutrition. We booked our virtual team holiday baking session with her recently and she was amazing. She was punctual and finished two recipes (Gingerbread and Hot Toddy) as promised in 1 hour and kept the whole experience super engaging and fun for all team members. Her instructions were very easy to follow and the result was delicious holiday treats. All team members were super impressed with Jesse's skills and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

Jesse Lane hosted a great virtual class for my company! Her two recipes looked delicious and it was great to know all the healthy things we could add to our desserts and drinks during the holiday season. Jesse Lane did a great job explaining all of the health benefits of the ingredients chosen for each recipe and tips we could use for improving other recipes we make at home. It was an awesome hour together!

Emily Ruder

People & Culture Specialist, Aprio

Jesse Lane’s cooking class has been an absolute wonderful experience.  As a company, we have participated for a fourth time now and plan for a fifth in the near future!  From the planning to the day of the class, Jesse Lane has made sure everyone has all the ingredients ready on time, and everyone’s dietary restrictions are met. The food is great, and Jesse Lane is an awesome teacher!  We highly recommend Jesse Lane’s cooking class!

Krista Campbell

Human Resources Manager, Kingstar Media

Jesse Lane does an amazing job of keeping participants engaged during her hands-on workshops. Everyone leaves with a new piece of knowledge that they did not know going into the class. From how to cook a certain vegetable properly to the nutritional facts in each item, Jesse informs you on it all. I have been working with Jesse for a few months now to plan virtual cooking workshops for my clients. She is always timely with her response and is willing and excited to work with any ideas I may have for an event. 

Alexandra Davis

Definitely loved the class and the gift of the experience of doing something fun and creative together as a team. I enjoyed interacting with everyone on a personal level while doing something fun. Jesse Lane is a very natural and gifted teacher and does a great job not only sharing her expertise but also making it interactive and fun for all participants - she's a total gem!  I would absolutely recommend Jesse Lane and this type of virtual cooking class to other teams!

Patty Congdon

Jesse Lane has such a knack for bringing the viewer right into her kitchen through the lens and making us feel welcome. I loved all the amazing tips and kitchen wisdom. I felt like a friend sitting at her counter while she cooked and chatted with me!

Alicia Tyler

Editorial Director at Clean Eating & Vegetarian Times Magazines

The cooking class was amazing! Jesse Lane Lee has an amazing personality.  Truly, I had a great time and everyone has only shared positive feedback. I can't wait to remake the salad and try some more dressings.

Gracie McDermott

Community Manager at Experience Management, JLL

The cooking class was a very fun and unique team event that was loved by all. A big part of it was Jesse's sunny and entertaining personality.

Alex Melamed

TRIRIGA Offering Manager at IBM

Our Kingstar Media team had a blast attending Jesse’s cooking class! During the class I loved how engaging Jesse was with everyone, she did this by asking everyone light-hearted questions and encouraging people to unmute themselves on zoom. It created a comfortable and fun environment to talk freely and ask any cooking questions. 

Jesse was such an amazing teacher. Her positive and happy energy could fill a room! You can tell, even through zoom, how kind of a person she is. The Kingstar Media team will most definitely be participating in more classes and will refer her to clients, friends, family etc.

Angelina DiCaro

Human Resources Generalist, Kingstar Media

Thank you so much for teaching such a wonderful cooking class. You were so engaging and energetic and it really shows in your cooking. I received such positive feedback from those who joined.
