The best thing about cooking is that it brings people together. So any opportunity to create a stir in the kitchen – be it during an event for team-building or when people are getting to know each other or during a workshop – should be seized. All of which is possible at Verner’s in a relaxed living-room atmosphere and at four different cooking classes:

Ladies only is the motto for a five-course menu that Thomas Hilbrand helps conjure up. Between 10 and 20 participants can learn how to cook and prepare both simple and complex dishes. The participants will be using locally sourced products before being able to enjoy what they have prepared themselves with accompanying drinks.

• Duration: approx. 5 hours

There are also classes for men to learn how to cook five-course menus from locally sourced ingredients. They’ll be taught the basic tricks of the trade that are used to prepare both simple and complex dishes and how to plate them up beautifully. The cooking class is suitable for to 20 participants and concludes with a tasting not only of the prepared food but also of the venue’s own fine spirits.
