TICKET TERMS, POLICIES, & USEFUL INFORMATION:
By purchasing this ticket, we agree that we understand that we are joining the Pickwick & Cherry Cooking Club, a private, fraternal organization, and that all food will be prepared by members of the club. We understand that cooking is an activity that involves some inherent danger, including but not limited to cuts, burns, slips and falls, and other risks, and we waive all liability and hold Pickwick & Cherry harmless in the unlikely event we are injured.
We understand and agree to the Cancellation Policy, which states that “Class reservations are like theatre tickets – the show must go on! Therefore, if you find that you cannot make it, we strongly encourage you to send someone else in your place. If need to cancel more than 30 days before your class, you may without penalty. If you need to cancel within 30 days, but more than 14 days, you may switch your reservation to any other of our classes with space available (and pay the difference if necessary). If you must cancel within 14 days, you may exchange your reservation only if we can fill your space in the class. We will certainly work with you to find someone to take your space if we can help, but we encourage you to find someone on your own. If we cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances or lack of interest, we will refund you in full.”
We understand and agree to the Appropriate Attire Policy, which states, “Please wear appropriate clothes for a hands-on cooking experience. We discourage long flow-y sleeves, lots of fringe, anything with glitter, things that stain easily, and anything else impractical for standing and moving on floors that contain drains, grates, uneven surfaces, and potential slippery areas. FLAT SHOES FOR WOMEN ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.”
We understand and agree that viral transmission and exposure is a potential risk in any setting where people from multiple households are present, and we accept this risk. We also agree to abide by any stated health precautions, including but not limited to mask wearing, hand washing, or other precautions that management may deem appropriate.
We understand that alcoholic beverages may be consumed by people of legal age on a BYOB basis, but that the hosts reserve the right to restrict the times at which alcohol may be consumed, or may cut off any guest’s alcohol consumption at any time in the interest of the safety and comfort of all present.

Join us for a warm, cheerful afternoon in this hands-on Italian cooking class inspired by the sunny flavors of Italy. In this relaxed midday class, you’ll prepare a comforting and satisfying menu perfect for any day of the year!
We’ll start with Zuppa Toscana—a hearty Tuscan soup with sausage, kale, and potatoes—paired with garlicky ciabatta fresh from the oven. You’ll also make a crisp shaved fennel and citrus salad, a classic caprese bursting with peak-season tomatoes and mozzarella, and finish with a rich, creamy tiramisu.
Whether you’re here for the food, the fun, or the fresh Italian flavors, this class is a perfect midday escape. Buon appetito!

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Pinot Grigio, a floral Vermentino, a dry Italian Rosé, a smooth Chianti, or a sweet Vin Santo to pair beautifully with the tiramisu.

ADMIT ONE

Each 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!

A Taste of Tuscany Date Night Cooking Experience
2025-09-25 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-09-26 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-09-27 18:30 - 21:00 UTC
Transport yourselves to the golden hills of Tuscany for an evening of hands-on cooking, bold flavors, and Italian hospitality. In this cozy, couples-friendly class, we’ll explore rustic yet refined Tuscan dishes made to be shared—and savored.
Together we’ll prepare an abundant menu, starting with a trio of classic antipasti: crostini toscani with savory chicken liver pâté, bruschetta with ripe tomatoes and basil, and crostini con fichi e ricotta—a sweet-salty bite of fig and creamy cheese. We’ll toss a crisp arugula salad with shaved pecorino, then dive into pasta-making as we hand-roll fresh spaghetti to pair with a garlicky tomato sauce. For the main event, you’ll learn to sear and roast an herb-crusted pork loin to juicy perfection.
We’ll finish with something sweet and distinctly Tuscan: Torta della Nonna, a lemon custard and pine nut tarts, delicate, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.
Whether it’s your first class or your fifth, this date night promises warmth, flavor, and a delicious memory made by hand.

BYOB

We suggest a Chianti or Rosso di Montalcino if you prefer reds, a Vermentino or Vernaccia di San Gimignano or similar Tuscan white if you prefer whites, and a dry or semi-dry Lambrusco if you want something sparkling.

ADMIT TWO

Each ticket admits two people! You don’t have to bring a romantic partner; friends, gal pals, adult kids, parents, anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with is great!
