Team Building

Cooking and enjoying a meal together opens up new ways to communicate, and the most important ingredients are energy, entertainment, quality and hospitality.

Years of experience

Team Building as a Calling

Behind Olivia's team-building concepts stand the experience and the passion of our founder María Nieves García Pajín. Her many years in international marketing and event management taught her what companies need, and she designs events that go far beyond a classic cooking class.

A successful company event lives from the right energy. That is why Nieves plans every event so that cooking together, communication, teamwork and enjoyment flow into one another. From choosing the right menu to adapting it to your group size and schedule, right through to hosting the evening itself, the result brings people together and strengthens the way they work with each other.

With every event

Always Included

Whichever format you choose, these four things are part of every evening with us.

Your Group, Our Kitchen: On the day of your event our cooking school is reserved for your group alone. No other classes, no walk-in customers, just the full attention of our team in a private setting.
Four Hours, No Rush: Every event runs for four hours, leaving plenty of time for cooking, tasting, talking and lingering, with no time pressure.
Fresh Ingredients, Carefully Prepared: We deliberately take our time preparing, and we care about every detail: from buying fresh, high-quality ingredients, regional wherever possible, to the way the room is set.
Chefs and Service All Evening: Our chefs and service team are with you throughout the event, so you do not have to think about a thing and can concentrate on the evening itself.

Sounds Spanish? It is!

Olivia's Kitchen Party

Where do the best parties happen? Exactly: in the kitchen. Olivia's Kitchen Party is a delicious, playful mix of cooking class, buffet and pintxo bar, inspired by the food culture of San Sebastián and Barcelona. A real fiesta where food lovers and reluctant cooks feel equally at home.

Forget stiff table rounds and formal menus. Expect Mediterranean hospitality, cooking together, easy conversation and an evening full of good food and good mood.

A unique, exclusive concept for groups of 14 to a maximum of 20 people.

Private Cooking Events

We host our classic cooking events for private groups of up to 13 people and company and team events of up to 20 people, because we are convinced that small groups make the biggest impression.

Team building, a department evening, a Christmas party, a kick-off, a workshop or simply an evening with colleagues: we build you an event with character, energy and real Mediterranean hospitality.

A smaller group, or planning something out of the ordinary? Just ask. We are flexible and will find the right format with you.
