Why Cooking Belongs in Your Wellness Strategy
Most wellness programs focus on fixing something. PREP focuses on bringing people together.
Cooking is:
- Stress-relieving and creative
- Social by nature
- Skill-building and confidence-boosting
- Accessible to all experience levels
Virtual Employee Wellness Program turns wellness into a shared experience employees actually look forward to. One that supports mental well-being, connection, and everyday life outside of work.

Trusted for Over 5 Years
PREP’s Virtual Employee Wellness Program has been running successfully for five years, with members consistently praising the experience for its clarity, pace, and welcoming atmosphere.
I highly recommend PREP's events to anyone looking for ways to connect with their team. Not only did it improve our culinary skills on a personal level but it was super fun and approachable. Everyone had a great time and even let their competitive sides come out. The Zoom chat was full of banter and jokes and we look forward to doing it each quarter as a fun activity.
As the person in charge of coordinating events for 75+ employees I was so grateful that I didn’t have to do any planning! Sydney was in contact with our entire company to gather dietary restrictions, questions, etc. By the end of our first class, I had made such a delicious meal that I was genuinely proud of. Plus, I learn so many new techniques and shortcuts that have already made a big difference in my cooking. The sense of community and shared enthusiasm among our team added such a special layer of joy—our staff still talks about it and says these were hands down the best virtual events we’ve ever done.
It’s not every day you get full access to a Le Cordon Bleu chef from Paris in your kitchen. I have several folks on my team that are self proclaimed “foodies” and many others that were a little nervous as they weren’t very comfortable in the kitchen. By the end of the class every single employee was raving about their meal and they ALL learned new skills, information and techniques. This was such a fun, engaging and unique experience for us all and we look forward to continuing to work with PREP.
Our event was so well-organized and fun! PREP sent out a clear list of ingredients and equipment needed beforehand, so the team felt well-prepared. The interactive nature of the class allowed for real-time questions and review of how our recipes were coming along. I especially appreciated the way Chef Elizabeth encouraged us to add our own twists to the recipes!
