Cooking together as metaphor

As I continue to do collaborative cooking workshops, largely inspired by my last book, Beyond Recipes, it becomes increasingly obvious that improvisational group cooking offers an abundance of collaboration metaphors. The experience energizes a sense of presence, resourcefulness, creativity, interbeing, learning, trust, happiness and agility. 

As we have done countless "teambuilding" exercises over the years, nothing compares wi this. It authentically engages the whole person in real rather than simulated relationship building.
