With 25 years in food and wine publishing, Richard traveled the world learning from top international chefs before founding My Mother’s Kitchen, a New York cooking school. There, he discovered the powerful parallels between teamwork in the kitchen and the workplace.
This insight inspired Recipe for Success and TeamBonding’s popular culinary program, TeamCuisine—both designed to enhance collaboration, communication, and team development through the shared experience of cooking.

As a cofounder of our culinary division, Recipe For Success, my favorite event is our flagship Team Cuisine program. The underlying principle of this event is to foster a high level of communication among team members. It’s terrific to watch the teams prepare a multi course international meal without the benefit of recipes. Team members need to communicate effectively in order to meet this challenge. Everyone is always amazed (including myself) at how good the food comes out.

We produced our Cooking For A Cause program for a large group. The teams prepared a food donation for a local charity. We invited the charity to have a representative join the event to give a talk on hunger in the community and thank the teams for their donation. At the end of the program there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. ( including mine)
