Alpine Escape Date Night Cooking Experience

Head for the mountains with our Alpine Date Night Cooking Experience, featuring some of our favorite dishes from Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria, and the surrounding Alps.
We’ll begin with bubbling cheese fondue with plenty of good things for dipping, followed by a Swiss mountain salad with greens, hard-boiled eggs, herbs, and a bright dressing. You’ll also make bread and cheese dumpling soup, which is approximately as cozy as a bowl of soup can get.
For the main course, we’ll slow-roast a beautiful skin-on pork belly until tender, with shatteringly crisp skin, and serve it with beer gravy and potatoes.
And because the Austrians have very good ideas about dessert, we’re making two. You’ll learn Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy caramelized pancake torn into pieces and dusted with powdered sugar, as well as Salzburger Nockerl, a dramatic baked soufflé traditionally shaped to resemble the mountains surrounding Salzburg.
Along the way, you’ll learn plenty of useful techniques (from fondue and dumplings to getting that pork skin properly crisp) and sit down together to enjoy everything you’ve made. It’s hearty, generous mountain food, exactly right for a chilly evening.
Come hungry. Seriously.
BYOB
We suggest a crisp Grüner Veltliner, a refreshing German Riesling, a bold Austrian Blaufränkisch, or a malty Bavarian Dunkel beer. If you can find a proper Bavarian Zwickl, bring one for us too please.
