Taste of Poland Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-01-29 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-01-30 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-01-31 18:30 - 21:00 UTC | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
Escape winter’s chill with an evening of warmth, laughter, and rich Old World flavor. In this hands-on cooking experience, you and your date will roll up your sleeves and explore the hearty, comforting cuisine of Poland and Eastern Europe, where hospitality is sacred and every dish tells a story.
You’ll begin by crafting gołąbki, tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a savory beef and rice filling, simmered slowly in tomato sauce until irresistibly rich. Next, you’ll learn the art of pierogi, hand-folded dumplings stuffed with creamy potatoes, smoky bacon, and cheese, served with caramelized onions and sour cream. On the side, you’ll prepare honey-glazed roasted carrots and garlic-sautéed mushrooms, two simple but elegant dishes that bring color and balance to the table. And for dessert, you’ll make pączki, rich and ridiculous Polish brioche donuts filled with jam and dusted with sugar — the perfect sweet finish to a hearty meal.
After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the feast you’ve created while we take care of the cleanup. Whether you have Polish roots or simply love the idea of a cozy, romantic evening inspired by the Old Country, this class is the perfect way to chase away the January chill and make memories that last longer than dessert.

BYOB

We suggest an Old World white wine, like a Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, or Tokaji, or a medium-bodied red such as a Zweigelt. If you’re a beer drinker, try a Polish beer like Fortuna Komes.

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!

Halfling Birthday Party - Elevensies
2026-09-22 11:00 - 13:00 UTC
There are many ways to celebrate a birthday (or two!). We prefer the kind that involves pastry, potatoes, cake, and perhaps one meal too many.
Join us for a cozy fantasy-inspired cooking experience as we prepare a feast fit for a very special occasion. Together we’ll make Mushroom Hand Pies, Pork & Apple Sausage Rolls, Rosie’s Party Potatoes, Gaffer’s Garden Salad, Apple Dumplings, and a Honey Spice Birthday Cake.
Along the way we’ll work with pastry dough, learn a few kitchen tricks, share a meal, and create the sort of spread that would make any lover of comfort food feel right at home.
Choose your preferred seating:
• Elevensies
• Second Lunch
Costumes are welcome but not required. Good appetites are strongly encouraged.
Whether you’re a fan of fantasy adventures, cozy kitchens, abundant tables, or simply eating delicious food with interesting people, this class is for you.
After all, birthdays come but once a year. Extra meals are sensible whenever you can get away with them.

BYOB

Crisp cider, brown ale, mead, sparkling apple juice, strong black tea, or anything that sounds good.

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!
