SUMMARY:Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night
DESCRIPTION:Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night is what happens when Taco Tuesday widens the lens a little. Same hands-on format\, same lively energy\, but big island flavors. \nWe’ll make ropa vieja — slow-cooked\, shredded beef simmered with tomatoes\, peppers\, and spices — and mofongo\, a Puerto Rican dish of mashed fried plantains mixed with garlic and olive oil. Alongside that\, coconut rice and a bright\, fresh mango-cucumber salad. For dessert\, we’re creating something delicious from passionfruit.  \n We’ll build the meal together and then sit down to enjoy it — inside the kitchen or outside in our gazebo if the weather cooperates. \nAfter dinner\, your chef-instructor will put down the knives\, pick up his violin\, and serenade you with Latin and Caribbean music to close the evening. \nNo rhythm required — just good food\, good music\, and a night that feels a little different from the usual. \nStill Taco Tuesday. Just less… taco-y. Still very Tuesday-y.

SUMMARY:Pretzel Baking Class
DESCRIPTION:Get Ready for Pretzel Baking Class!\nWe roll up our sleeves and dive into the world of handmade pretzels in our crowd-fave Pretzel Baking Class. This fun\, hands-on workshop is all about mastering the dough\, the twist\, and the bake that makes pretzels so irresistible\, while also learning a few tricks that bakers have passed down for generations. \nWe’ll begin with authentic Bavarian lye-dipped pretzels\, the kind that deliver that iconic chewy crust and deep\, golden shine. Lye can be dangerous if handled incorrectly\, but we’ll provide the goggles\, the know-how\, and the confidence to teach you how to use lye safely. It’s not nearly as scary as it sounds\, and the delicious results are absolutely worth it. \nNext\, we’ll bake Scandinavian sweet pretzels\, soft\, sweet\, and lightly iced\, perfect for an afternoon treat or a cozy breakfast. We’ll also make Parmesan peppercorn pretzels\, savory and bold. It’s basically the best possible garlic bread—but with all the satisfying chew and character of a real pretzel. \nAlong the way\, we’ll tackle the famous flippy-twisty pretzel fold (English doesn’t really have a word for it\, but German does: Brezelschlingen)\, breaking it down step by step until the classic shape feels easy and natural. We’ll share tips on dough handling\, shaping\, flavor variations\, and baking methods so that pretzels can become part of our own kitchen repertoire. \nBy the end of class\, we’ll leave with a generous pile of fresh\, warm pretzels\, new skills\, and maybe even a new party trick to share. Whether sweet or savory\, pretzels are always a crowd-pleaser—and making them together makes them even better. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nADMIT ONE \n  \nEach ticket admits one person\, but don’t let that stop you.  This is a great experience to share with friends\, family\, neighbors\, coworkers\, frenemies\, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with! \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:About our Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience\nProst! Get ready to raise a glass and celebrate Oktoberfest with a night full of flavor\, laughter\, and hands-on Bavarian cooking. This isn’t just any cooking class—it’s a lively date night that captures the warmth\, heartiness\, and cheer of Germany’s most famous festival. Think clinking steins\, the smell of fresh-baked pretzels\, and the joy of cooking something delicious together. Lederhosen and dirndls are totally optional—but if you wear them\, you’ll definitely earn extra applause! \nWe’ll kick things off with warm pretzel pockets—golden brown on the outside\, soft on the inside\, and stuffed with gooey cheese\, smoky ham\, and tangy mustard. (We’ll prep the dough in advance so you get straight to the fun part: stuffing\, shaping\, and baking!) Then\, roll up your sleeves to hand-make spätzle noodles just like Oma would have made them. Next\, we’ll simmer beer-braised bratwurst with sauerkraut until juicy and savory\, and toss together a warm German potato salad that’s bright\, tangy\, and just the right amount of comfort food. \nAnd because no Oktoberfest is complete without something sweet\, dessert is a show-stopping\, team effort: a giant\, six-foot-long apple strudel! Together\, you’ll stretch the dough paper-thin (don’t worry\, we’ll teach you the tricks of the trade)\, fill it with cinnamon-spiced apples and toasty breadcrumbs\, and roll it into a golden\, fragrant masterpiece. When it comes out of the oven\, the first slice will have everyone grinning. \nBring your favorite Oktoberfest brew\, your favorite person\, and your best appetite. We’ll bring the recipes\, the music\, and the fun. By the end of the night\, you’ll feel like you’ve danced\, cooked\, and feasted your way through Munich—without ever leaving the Ozarks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBYOB \n  \nWe suggest an Oktoberfest/Märzen beer\, of course!

SUMMARY:Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
DESCRIPTION:Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class\nWe celebrate the art\, science\, and flavor of naturally leavened breads in our Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class. Together\, we’ll explore the fascinating world of wild yeast\, long fermentation\, and rustic baking traditions that bring unmatched character and taste to every loaf. \nWe’ll begin with the foundation: an artisan sourdough\, learning the steps of mixing\, folding\, proofing\, and baking that create the chewy crust\, open crumb\, and deep tang that make sourdough beloved around the world. From there\, we’ll branch out into variations that highlight how versatile naturally leavened breads can be. We’ll bake an aromatic asiago and onion sourdough\, a savory loaf filled with bold\, cheesy flavor and caramelized sweetness. \nWe’ll also step outside sourdough-is-savory box and prepare South African mosbolletjies\, a fragrant\, lightly sweet bread flavored with anise and enriched with all of the dairy products we have. (Not really\, but it feels like it!) This bread was our all-time top seller when we used to sell at the Farmer’s Market — even among people who couldn’t pronounce it (so\, basically\, everyone.)  \nAlong the way\, we’ll cover essential techniques\, from starter maintenance to shaping methods and decorative techniques\, so that sourdough feels approachable and exciting. Whether rustic or refined\, savory or slightly sweet\, every bread we bake together will deepen our appreciation for this timeless craft. \nBy the end\, we’ll leave with a collection of fresh loaves and the confidence to keep baking sourdough at home for years to come. And of course\, we will give you starter to take home!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nADMIT ONE \n  \nEach ticket admits one person\, but don’t let that stop you.  This is a great experience to share with friends\, family\, neighbors\, coworkers\, frenemies\, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with! \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:Georgian Supra Date Night Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:About Our Georgian Cooking Class\nWhether Georgia is already one of your favorite cuisines or you’re discovering it for the first time\, we can’t wait to welcome you to Georgian Supra—our celebration of the rich\, ancient food culture of the Eastern European/West Asian nation of Georgia. (We love the Peach State too\, but this menu comes from the other one—the one with mountains\, monasteries\, and 8\,000 years of winemaking tradition.) \nA supra is a traditional Georgian feast: a generous\, abundant table filled with vibrant dishes\, heartfelt hospitality\, and food meant to be shared. This spirit of welcome has been central to Georgian life for millennia\, shaped by the country’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Archaeological discoveries reveal that Georgia is home to some of the world’s earliest winemaking sites\, where clay qvevri vessels were used to ferment grapes thousands of years before the first amphora appeared in Greece or Rome. That same deep history—of wine\, of trade\, of craftsmanship—shaped the bold\, unforgettable flavors that make this cuisine so compelling today. \nGeorgian food is true East-meets-West fusion in the best possible way. Expect a balance of bright pomegranate and earthy walnuts\, fresh herbs and cultured dairy\, smoky vegetables and tender dumplings\, spices that warm rather than overwhelm\, and\, of course\, the most famous dish of all: khachapuri\, the warm\, indulgent cheese bread beloved around the world. \nOur Supra menu features:• Khachapuri (cheese-filled bread boats)• Khinkali (pork and beef dumplings)• Fresh tomato–cucumber salad• Eggplant–walnut rolls• Plov (fragrant rice with dried fruit)• Kharcho (beef in rich walnut and spice stew)• Tart cherry cake for dessert \nThis is more than a cooking class—it’s a feast\, a welcome\, and a window into one of the oldest continuous culinary traditions on Earth. Come ready to learn\, savor\, and celebrate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBYOB \n  \nWe suggest a bright Georgian Rkatsiteli\, a dry or off-dry Riesling\, an earthy Pinot Noir\, a bold Saperavi red\, or a luscious late-harvest Muscat to pair beautifully with the tart cherry cake. (Pro tip: Total Wines has a nice selection of Georgian wines!) \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
DESCRIPTION:Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class\nWe celebrate the art\, science\, and flavor of naturally leavened breads in our Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class. Together\, we’ll explore the fascinating world of wild yeast\, long fermentation\, and rustic baking traditions that bring unmatched character and taste to every loaf. \nWe’ll begin with the foundation: an artisan sourdough\, learning the steps of mixing\, folding\, proofing\, and baking that create the chewy crust\, open crumb\, and deep tang that make sourdough beloved around the world. From there\, we’ll branch out into variations that highlight how versatile naturally leavened breads can be. We’ll bake an aromatic asiago and onion sourdough\, a savory loaf filled with bold\, cheesy flavor and caramelized sweetness. \nWe’ll also step outside sourdough-is-savory box and prepare South African mosbolletjies\, a fragrant\, lightly sweet bread flavored with anise and enriched with all of the dairy products we have. (Not really\, but it feels like it!) This bread was our all-time top seller when we used to sell at the Farmer’s Market — even among people who couldn’t pronounce it (so\, basically\, everyone.)  \nAlong the way\, we’ll cover essential techniques\, from starter maintenance to shaping methods and decorative techniques\, so that sourdough feels approachable and exciting. Whether rustic or refined\, savory or slightly sweet\, every bread we bake together will deepen our appreciation for this timeless craft. \nBy the end\, we’ll leave with a collection of fresh loaves and the confidence to keep baking sourdough at home for years to come. And of course\, we will give you starter to take home!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nADMIT ONE \n  \nEach ticket admits one person\, but don’t let that stop you.  This is a great experience to share with friends\, family\, neighbors\, coworkers\, frenemies\, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with! \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:Georgian Supra Date Night Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:About Our Georgian Cooking Class\nWhether Georgia is already one of your favorite cuisines or you’re discovering it for the first time\, we can’t wait to welcome you to Georgian Supra—our celebration of the rich\, ancient food culture of the Eastern European/West Asian nation of Georgia. (We love the Peach State too\, but this menu comes from the other one—the one with mountains\, monasteries\, and 8\,000 years of winemaking tradition.) \nA supra is a traditional Georgian feast: a generous\, abundant table filled with vibrant dishes\, heartfelt hospitality\, and food meant to be shared. This spirit of welcome has been central to Georgian life for millennia\, shaped by the country’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Archaeological discoveries reveal that Georgia is home to some of the world’s earliest winemaking sites\, where clay qvevri vessels were used to ferment grapes thousands of years before the first amphora appeared in Greece or Rome. That same deep history—of wine\, of trade\, of craftsmanship—shaped the bold\, unforgettable flavors that make this cuisine so compelling today. \nGeorgian food is true East-meets-West fusion in the best possible way. Expect a balance of bright pomegranate and earthy walnuts\, fresh herbs and cultured dairy\, smoky vegetables and tender dumplings\, spices that warm rather than overwhelm\, and\, of course\, the most famous dish of all: khachapuri\, the warm\, indulgent cheese bread beloved around the world. \nOur Supra menu features:• Khachapuri (cheese-filled bread boats)• Khinkali (pork and beef dumplings)• Fresh tomato–cucumber salad• Eggplant–walnut rolls• Plov (fragrant rice with dried fruit)• Kharcho (beef in rich walnut and spice stew)• Tart cherry cake for dessert \nThis is more than a cooking class—it’s a feast\, a welcome\, and a window into one of the oldest continuous culinary traditions on Earth. Come ready to learn\, savor\, and celebrate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBYOB \n  \nWe suggest a bright Georgian Rkatsiteli\, a dry or off-dry Riesling\, an earthy Pinot Noir\, a bold Saperavi red\, or a luscious late-harvest Muscat to pair beautifully with the tart cherry cake. (Pro tip: Total Wines has a nice selection of Georgian wines!) \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:The Art of Phyllo Baking Class
DESCRIPTION:Phyllo has a bit of a bad reputation. It tears. It dries out. It behaves badly if ignored. And yet\, some of the most beloved pastries in the world rely on it. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, we’re demystifying phyllo once and for all as we bake our way through phyllo’s full range of possibilities. You’ll learn to build classic nut baklava in multiple styles\, from crisp layered triangles to rolled sarma and dramatic midye (mussel) baklava formed from hand-stretched sheets. We’ll prepare spiral bourek and tiropitakia for the savory table\, and we’ll turn even our “mistakes” into fragrant orange-soaked portokalopita. \nBy the end of class\, you’ll understand how phyllo behaves\, how it doesn’t\, and how to approach these pastries with confidence instead of hesitation.

SUMMARY:Italian Countryside Date Night Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:About This Italian Cooking Class\nStep into the sun-drenched rhythm of rural Italy for an evening inspired by the warmth\, generosity\, and richness of life in the countryside. Imagine the rolling vineyards\, olive groves\, and bustling village kitchens where meals are crafted slowly\, with love\, laughter\, and more than a little wine. 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. \nWe’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. \nFinally\, 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. \nThis 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! \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBYOB \n  \nWe suggest a bold Barbera\, a smooth Chianti Classico\, a dry Italian Rosato\, a sparkling Lambrusco\, or a rich\, slightly sweet Vin Santo. \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!

SUMMARY:Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night
DESCRIPTION:Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night is what happens when Taco Tuesday widens the lens a little. Same hands-on format\, same lively energy\, but big island flavors. \nWe’ll make ropa vieja — slow-cooked\, shredded beef simmered with tomatoes\, peppers\, and spices — and mofongo\, a Puerto Rican dish of mashed fried plantains mixed with garlic and olive oil. Alongside that\, coconut rice and a bright\, fresh mango-cucumber salad. For dessert\, we’re creating something delicious from passionfruit.  \n We’ll build the meal together and then sit down to enjoy it — inside the kitchen or outside in our gazebo if the weather cooperates. \nAfter dinner\, your chef-instructor will put down the knives\, pick up his violin\, and serenade you with Latin and Caribbean music to close the evening. \nNo rhythm required — just good food\, good music\, and a night that feels a little different from the usual. \nStill Taco Tuesday. Just less… taco-y. Still very Tuesday-y.

SUMMARY:Taco Tuesday: Tacos Without Borders Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:Taco Tuesday Gone Global\nIn this hands-on cooking class\, we’ll move across borders and flavors without overthinking it. Think chorizo layered with bright Colombian hogao. Think tikka masala tucked into warm tortillas. Fresh guacamole and kimchi pico de gallo anchor the night\, while crisp guava phyllo triangles bring a sweet finish that leans just a little unexpected. \nThe goal isn’t fusion for the sake of it — it’s curiosity. We’ll talk about how flavors travel\, how techniques adapt\, and how tacos are one of the most flexible\, generous formats in the world. You’ll cook\, assemble\, taste\, adjust\, and build your own combinations\, working side by side and likely defending your favorite mashup by the end of the night. \nThis class is fully hands-on. You’ll prep\, season\, sauté\, fold\, and plate everything yourselves. It’s collaborative\, a little creative\, and intentionally not rigid. BYOB whatever fits your mood — beer\, wine\, something sparkling — we’ll have plenty of flavor to support it. \nThen\, once dinner is on the table and the room settles in\, the evening closes with a live violin performance. The music mirrors the spirit of the menu: global in influence\, grounded in craft\, and full of personality. \nBold. Inventive.
