Rules of the "ARI10 Christmas Competition"

Cooking Up Connection: ARI10's Christmas Celebration in Poznań

On Friday, December 5th, 2025, our team gathered at The Best Food Cooking Academy in Poznań for a Christmas celebration that traded formality for creativity. The plan? Master Thai cuisine together. The result? Something far more valuable than perfectly executed Pad Thai.

A Different Kind of Holiday Party

There's something beautifully leveling about putting on aprons and facing unfamiliar recipes as a team. In the kitchen, job titles fade away. We chopped, stirred, and laughed our way through Tom Yum Goong soup, Pad Thai, Gai Pad Med with cashews, and mango mousse.

 

Some dishes turned out restaurant-worthy. Others were learning experiences. All of them were made together, and that made them perfect.

Culture in Action

Company culture isn't what you write in a handbook – it's what happens when the workday ends and your team still chooses to be together. That evening, we saw our values come alive: collaboration over cutting boards, creativity in adapting recipes, and genuine care for one another.

The Spirit That Stays With Us

As we packed up our aprons, full of Thai food and good memories, one thing was clear: the Spirit of Christmas we celebrated isn't confined to December. It's the same spirit we bring to work every day – treating each other with kindness, celebrating together, and building something meaningful as a team.

 

Here's to more moments like these, and to a culture where connection is always on the menu.
