About This Cajun Cooking Class
Discover the bold, soulful flavors of Louisiana in our Cajun Date Night Cooking Experience—a hands-on New Orleans–inspired cooking class right here in the Ozarks! Step into a lively, music-filled evening where every dish tells a story of history, spice, and celebration. Whether you’ve been to the Crescent City or only dreamed of strolling down Bourbon Street, this class will transport you straight to the heart of Cajun and Creole culture.
Together, you and your partner will cook a feast that embodies the spirit of Louisiana hospitality. You’ll stir up a pot of rich, velvety shrimp étouffée, savor the sweet-and-savory corn goodness of maque choux, and roll crispy, golden boudin balls that are as fun to make as they are to eat. To keep things extra festive, you’ll also fry up classic hushpuppies with remoulade, perfect for dipping, and end the evening with a flaming finale of bananas foster, caramelized to perfection before your very eyes.
But this experience isn’t just about recipes—it’s about rhythm. The night is infused with the sounds of jazz, the warmth of shared laughter, and the joy of cooking side by side with someone you love. Designed to be equal parts delicious and entertaining, it’s the perfect date night, friend outing, or gift for any food enthusiast craving authentic Cajun flair.
No prior kitchen experience is required—just bring your appetite, your sense of adventure, and maybe a little Mardi Gras spirit. Book your spot today and let the good times roll, Ozarks style!

We suggest a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a fruity off-dry Riesling, a light-bodied Pinot Noir, a refreshing sparkling wine like Prosecco, or a rich dark rum or Sauternes to pair beautifully with Bananas Foster

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!

Cajun Carnival Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-02-15 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-02-16 18:30 - 21:00
Start your Mardi Gras week with a little Louisiana magic! Join us for a cozy, hands-on Classic Cajun Date Night at Pickwick & Cherry, where the oil sizzles, the roux darkens, and the good times roll.
Together we will fry up golden boudin balls with creamy remoulade and crisp hush puppies, stir together buttery, colorful maque choux (that’s Cajun creamed corn, for the uninitiated), and master the deep, smoky flavors of a classic shrimp étouffée, ladled over rice.
To end the evening, we’ll call gather ’round to frost and share a single magnificent King Cake, decorated in Mardi Gras colors and hiding the baby that determines who’s king of the feast (and gets to host next year.) It’s a proper Louisiana finish to a night of spice and celebration.

BYOB

We suggest a bright, food-friendly wine — perhaps an off-dry Riesling, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, or a festive Brut Prosecco. Each pairs beautifully with the spice of the étouffée, the richness of the fried dishes, and the sweetness of the King Cake.
