Wine weaves its way through every dish, infusing each recipe with warmth and richness, and tying the menu together with unmistakable French flair.

Then you’ll master Beef Chateaubriand, seared and roasted to perfection with a silky red wine pan sauce. On the side, you’ll prepare Truffled Root Vegetables with Mustard Aioli, a luxurious twist on the winter harvest. Finally, dessert brings a playful challenge — the Berry Mille Feuille, layers of crisp puff pastry, pastry cream, and berries stacked like pastry Jenga: delicate, dramatic, and delightfully fun.
After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the feast you’ve created while we handle the cleanup. This luxurious evening is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s season, savor your love of beautiful cuisine, and experience the romance of Paris without ever leaving the Ozarks.

We suggest a French red wine, such as a Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Côtes du Rhône with dinner, and something sparkling, like a Crémant or Champagne, to enjoy with dessert.

After cooking, we’ll sit down to enjoy the meal we’ve created while we handle the cleanup. Every couple will also take home a Valentine’s Gift Tower: handmade chocolate-dipped strawberries, cordial cherries, and truffles beautifully boxed for sharing later.

About This Italian Cooking Class
Step into the sun-drenched rhythm of rural Italy for an evening inspired by the warmth, generosity, and richness of life in the countryside.

In this hands-on class, you, your partner, and your new friends will prepare a rustic yet elegant menu that celebrates Italian tradition while offering flavors bold enough to make Nonna proud.
We’ll begin with a vibrant antipasta salad brimming with fresh vegetables, cured meats, and cheeses—a lively, colorful start that sets the tone. Then, we’ll dive into the classic comfort of stuffed artichokes, tender leaves filled with savory goodness. From there, the menu continues with a warming white bean gratin, hearty yet refined, and handmade agnolotti filled with black garlic and braised short rib, a dish that balances depth, earthiness, and indulgence in every bite.
Finally, the evening ends on a sweet note: you’ll learn the art of making crisp, creamy cannoli, shaping the shells and filling them with luscious ricotta cream, just as they’ve been enjoyed across generations.
This is more than a cooking class—it’s a celebration of Italian life, designed for couples, friends, or anyone who believes food tastes better when shared. It’s a memorable evening filled with good food, better company, and the timeless joy of cooking from the heart. Mangia!

Scandinavian Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-02-26 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-02-27 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-02-28 18:30 - 21:00 UTC
About Our Scandinavian Cooking Class
Embrace the cozy glow of hygge—that uniquely Scandinavian feeling of warmth, comfort, and joy—as you spend a winter evening cooking a hands-on Nordic feast. Think flickering candlelight, laughter filling the kitchen, and the scent of butter, dill, and fresh-baked bread in the air. This class is all about hearty flavors, simple elegance, and that playful, communal spirit that makes Scandinavian cooking so special. Perfect for date night, it’s part cooking class, part cozy escape.
We’ll start with the most beloved of Nordic comfort foods: Swedish meatballs served with creamy mashed potatoes and bright, tart lingonberry sauce. Then we’ll warm up with a velvety bowl of rotfruktssoppa, a silky root vegetable soup that feels like a hug in a bowl. Next up, you’ll try your hand at curing your own gravlax, served with quick pickles and a mustard-dill sauce, all piled onto fresh-baked Scandinavian seed bread. To balance the richness, we’ll toss together a roasted beet and dill salad with horseradish crème fraîche—vibrant, fresh, and deliciously Nordic.
And for dessert? We’ll end on a playful, golden note with Danish aebleskiver—light, spherical pancake bites that are crisp outside, fluffy inside, and endlessly fun to flip in their special pan. Rolled in sugar or topped with jam, they’re the perfect sweet ending to a night of flavor and togetherness.
Bring someone you love, your sense of adventure, and maybe a cozy sweater. By the end of the evening, you’ll feel full, warm, and wrapped in the best of Scandinavian hospitality.

BYOB

We suggest a crisp dry Riesling, a citrusy Grüner Veltliner, a light-bodied Gamay or Pinot Noir, a Scandinavian-style craft beer (like a malty amber or pale ale), or a chilled glass of sweet-tart cherry liqueur or aquavit to round out the Nordic experience.

About This Patagonian Cooking Class
Journey to the windswept edge of South America for an evening inspired by Patagonia’s rugged beauty and elemental cuisine. Picture the snow-capped Andes rising above blue glacial lakes, the scent of wood smoke curling through the air, and the warmth of a shared meal crafted slowly, with care and conversation. This class celebrates the rustic sophistication of Patagonian cooking — where the fire, the sea, and the table meet.
We’ll begin with Chilean salsa and rustic bread, bright with herbs, tomatoes, and a touch of spice. Then we’ll turn to lamb empanadas, golden and aromatic, paired with vibrant chimichurri that cuts through with green heat and vinegar. From there, the menu moves to the sea — a decadent king crab gratin baked with white wine, cream, breadcrumbs, and melted cheese — before returning to the land with roasted Andean potatoes and a crisp, refreshing Chilean salad.
Finally, we’ll finish with baked custard and candied pumpkin, a simple, comforting dessert that captures the sweetness of autumn on the far side of the world.
This is more than a dinner — it’s culinary a journey to the far, far south, a celebration of the elemental and the extraordinary. Warm, bold, and unforgettable, it’s an evening for explorers at heart.

BYOB

We suggest a cool-climate white or light red wine — perhaps a Chilean Chardonnay, Torrontés, or Pinot Noir. Each pairs beautifully with the richness of the lamb, the creaminess of the crab, and the brightness of the chimichurri.
