Why is cooking better than a diversity workshop for D&I events?

Most D&I workshops create awareness. A cooking class creates genuine experience. When you make Cacik from scratch with a Turkish chef who grew up in Adana, you don't just learn about Turkish culture — you develop a real relationship with it. That depth is what changes perspectives.

Which cuisines are most impactful for D&I events?

Turkish (Chef Reyhan actively challenges what people think they know about Turkish culture — it's transformative), Indian (25 spices from across the subcontinent reveal the vast diversity within a single cuisine), Luxembourgish (for expat-heavy teams — cooking the national cuisine creates a genuine local connection), and Korean (introduces a food culture most Europeans have never engaged with directly).

Can we tell the story of the chef's background as part of the event?

Every chef in our programme has a personal story that's integral to the class. Reyhan's Istanbul journalism career, Corrie's travels through Asia, Yun's certification from the Korean Food Promotion Institute — these stories are woven into the cooking experience, not added as an afterthought.

Is this suitable for highly international teams?

It's designed for them. Luxembourg's corporate community is extraordinarily international — we've run D&I events for teams with 15+ nationalities in a single session. The format works precisely because food is a universal point of connection and curiosity.

Can we combine multiple cuisines for a larger D&I event?

Yes — for larger groups we can run two cuisine streams in a split format, allowing the group to experience two different cultural perspectives in one evening. Contact us to design the right format.

Diversity & inclusion Luxembourg — cultural discovery through cooking

D&I events should create real discovery, not just awareness. Cooking another culture's food — with a chef who grew up in that culture — changes what people think they knew.

Why it works

Why cooking creates better cultural understanding

Experiential discovery goes deeper than any presentation or workshop.

🌍

Genuine cultural discovery

Understanding a culture through its food — the history, the ingredients, the technique, the stories — creates a depth of appreciation that presentations and workshops rarely match. It's experiential, not performative.

🧩

Challenges comfortable assumptions

Turkish cuisine is "just kebab." Indian food is "just curry." Korean is "just kimchi." Every class in our D&I programme is specifically designed to reveal how wrong those assumptions are — dish by dish.

🤝

Inclusive by design

The kitchen is naturally democratic. Everyone starts with the same skills (none), the same challenge, and the same apron. Cultural backgrounds become points of curiosity and conversation rather than division.

D&I cuisine selection

Four cuisines that change perspectives

Each of these experiences is led by a chef with a personal cultural story — and each one is designed to reveal what most people don't know about that cuisine.
