Client brief

Accenture enquired to Chillisauce about holding an event to reward 14 of their staff that had recently won a sales incentive. The challenge was to find an exciting activity that aligned with their health and safety values. Accenture wanted the activity to have a “Wow” factor.

Our thinking

Chillisauce suggested a full day bespoke cookery lesson with Jean Christophe Novelli’s Head Chef at the Novelli Academy in his 14th Century Hertfordshire farmhouse. We also organised dinner and an overnight stay at the 5* luxury Luton Hoo Hotel

The finer details

The guests enjoyed a champagne reception, gorgeous lunch with wine and hands on cooking. They even got a visit from Jean Christophe himself on the day. Staff were rewarded and motivated throughout the day with an experience they will remember. They also learned new cooking skills to take home.

What they cooked

- Acacia Honey Caramelised Pumpkin Soup with Cream Mousse

- Olive Bread

- Salmon Christina Melody

- Mushroom Ravioli with Ricotta

- Apple Tarte Tatin

- Chocolate Pot with Whiskey        

Feedback on the event

“From my perspective I thought the event last Thursday was absolutely excellent and thought the overall package worked really well.  

I was impressed with the service from Chillisauce and would definitely recommend you to colleagues.

In terms of the Academy I could not really fault it - the setting, the instruction and the quality of the food were all superb!

I thought the Luton Hoo hotel was impressive and a very luxurious setting.

Overall a great time was had by all.”
