Corporate Team Building
Corporate Team Building is an effective way to build trust and improve communication between co-workers. We work together, have fun and build relationships between co-workers.

Corporate Team Building Events bring co-workers together to improve communication, hone problem-solving skills, build morale and have fun. Each person contributes their own personal skills to make great food together as part of a team and this becomes the focus for sharing, responsibility and making the most of each person's individual skills. All teams work toward a common goal with prepping the food using tools of the trade, cooking the food with precise timing and plating the food with an eye for appealing excellence.

Whether you're looking for an hors' d'oeuvres party, a sit-down or buffet meal, or a competitive 'Iron Chef' style cook-off, Team Building with Chef Don offers you a choice of customizing your hands-on culinary experience for Corporate Team Building.
Fun Learning with Food
Dear Educators:

Chef Don McMillan and Andrew McMillan with Catering by Simple Elegance have created a program that will inspire our school children to increase their knowledge of food, geography and social studies. We call it Fun Learning with Food. Each class or group of classes decides on which country or historical eras they wish to take a culinary journey to, and then Chef Don and Andrew prepare a menu to fit the culinary trip. When the day arrives, Chef Don will lead the class/group in a lively informative half-hour dialogue drawing on his extensive travels to over 50 countries and keen knowledge of world history and economics. During this time the chosen meal is served and a new experience has begun. During his discussions with the students, Chef Don will relate the economics of the meal such as why certain foods are cooked and consumed in ways uncommon to our experiences. To choose from one of our nutritious meals and see menus click on the tab marked catering and then click on the Fun Learning with Food menus. You may also contact us for a custom designed menu. We look forward to the opportunity to expand our children's culinary horizons.
