The team who cooks together, works better together!
This is what a team of managers from Microsoft Global Business Support discovered after a hard day of meetings, when we joined Daniel, Razvan and Raluca for an evening of gourmet cooking and wine tasting @ Madame Pogany. The challenges this time were not about our key performance indicators, but different: why make linear grissini when you can make pretzels, what to do with a bottle of palinca when for dessert you only need a small cup, how to make your own ravioli after tasking 3 types of delicious Romanian wine and who moved the pancetta? We were so proud of our cooking and most of all of our team work, it was difficult to leave the event! So while the buses were waiting patiently, we stopped in front of the restaurant and continued talking, laughing, praising each other and having a great time! We brought that energy back in the office, so Thank You, Societe Gourmet, for helping us become a stronger team!

I would like to say a big thank you to Raluca and Daniel for this wonderful event. It exceeded all my expectations.
When we arrived, the first thing everyone said was ´wow´. The venue had such a nice atmosphere, the interior, the music, the welcoming staff…we felt comfortably and relaxed right away. The whole evening was animated very well, we had always something to do but we never felt pressure that we have to do anything. The food was excellent, the taste, the presentation, everything.
It was not the evening itself, but the overall preparation was very flexible, customer focused and effortless.
I highly recommend Societe Gourmet and hope that very soon we can return for another great event

It was one of the best experience I had in a while . Cooking is a stress buster for me but never knew it can also be a great team bonding activity . Raluca and Chef Daniel let us share the limelight and made us feel at home –  Home cooks , good fun and awesome Romanian wine – What else would anyone want

The cooking class with Daniel, organized with Raluca’s help, was really a great experience, or better said, a refined, tasty and tasteful experience. My congratulations and appreciation go to both of them. They’ve created a relaxed atmosphere and gradually but firmly introduced us into the secrets of gourmet cooking. The results were fantastic! The food was really delicious and very healthy and also looked very nice! Unbelievable what some more or less unexperienced cooks can do! 🙂 Thank you, Daniel, for your incredible patience with us and for your love for cooking, which shows in every piece of advice you’ve given us! You are very talented and have such a warm style of inspiring people to perform! I warmly recommend this cooking experience to everybody! Glückwunsch!
