A friendly cooking competition is the perfect rainy-day activity at any of our vacation rentals. With kitchens designed for serious culinary endeavors, properties like Pieper Mansion and The Grand Oasis turn into professional cooking arenas where families and friends can battle for bragging rights and delicious results.
Competition Formats That Work
The mystery box challenge is a crowd favorite—assign a shopper to buy surprise ingredients while the rest of the group prepares their stations. Alternatively, try a bake-off where each team must produce a dessert using a common base ingredient. For larger groups at The Big House, divide into restaurant teams where each group plans, prepares, and plates a complete three-course meal.
Judging and Prizes
Create scorecards rating taste, presentation, creativity, and use of local ingredients. Encourage teams to use Arizona or Utah local products from nearby farmers markets for bonus points. The winning team earns bragging rights and gets excused from cleanup duty. It is an activity that creates lasting memories and delicious meals.
