Add an extra layer of excitement by making cooking an adventure for your other senses. For this challenge, one person wears a blindfold while the other person guides them through preparing a dish. Whether it’s chopping veggies, assembling a salad, or seasoning a sauce, the blindfolded chef will have to rely on their partner’s guidance.

Not only does this challenge bring out laughter and teamwork, but it’s also a fun exercise in trust and communication. Plus, the final dish is sure to be a hilarious surprise. Will it be a gourmet masterpiece or a kitchen disaster? Only time will tell!

Pro Tip: If you want to enhance your kitchen confidence before the blindfold challenge, why not take one of YEG Cooking Classes hands-on cooking classes? You’ll pick up useful skills and tips that can make cooking a breeze, even when you can’t rely on sight. Plus, you’ll feel more prepared to tackle anything that comes your way during the challenge!

Baking can be a relaxing and rewarding activity, so why not add a little competition to the mix? For this challenge, each of you will pick a sweet treat to bake—whether it’s cookies, cupcakes, or brownies. The catch? You must bake the treats without using any recipes (or at least without peeking too much).

As you work through the process, you’ll learn a lot about each other’s baking styles. The end result might be a batch of perfectly decorated cupcakes, or it might be a pile of beautifully messy desserts—but either way, you’ll both have fun along the way. Once everything’s baked and cooled, you can taste each other’s creations and crown a winner!
