Pickwick & Cherry

The Mariner's Feast Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-05-16 18:30 - 21:00 UTC | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
The Mariner’s Feast Date Night Cooking Experience
Join us for an evening inspired by bright northern waters and harbor-town kitchens. In this hands-on cooking experience, we’ll build a seafood-forward feast from start to finish — learning techniques you can take home, and flavors that feel like summer by the water.
Together we’ll prepare maple-glazed salmon with a delicate balance of sweet and savory, golden griddled crab cakes with crisp edges and tender centers, and a creamy leek and corn risotto that anchors the plate. A fresh cucumber salad adds brightness and contrast, and we’ll finish with wild blueberry tarts that are both rustic and elegant.
As always at Pickwick & Cherry, we cook together at one long communal table — sharing tools, stories, and plenty of laughter along the way. After the cooking is done, you’ll sit down to enjoy the full feast while we take care of the cleanup.
No experience necessary — just come hungry and ready to cook.

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Albariño, a saline Muscadet, a dry Riesling, a cool-climate Chardonnay, or an elegant Pinot Noir. If you prefer something a bit bolder, try a restrained Sangiovese. To finish, a late-harvest Riesling or Banyuls makes a lovely match for blueberries.

Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
2026-05-17 13:00 - 15:45 (America/Chicago)
Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
We 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.
We’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.
We’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.)
Along 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.
By 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!

We’ll begin with Heirloom Tomato Soup, velvety and vibrant. Then we’ll craft the iconic Croque Monsieur — layers of buttery bread, smoky ham, and bubbling Gruyère baked to golden perfection. To balance the richness, we’ll toss a crisp, classic Bistro Salad with a bright vinaigrette that’s as effortless as it is delicious. Finally, we’ll cap our meal with Crème Brûlée, complete with that signature crack of caramelized sugar on top.
Throughout the class, we’ll focus on the little details that make French cooking shine — balancing flavors, mastering textures, and turning simple ingredients into something special. You’ll leave not just full, but inspired to bring a bit of café-style comfort and charm into your own kitchen.
It’s the perfect way to spend a late morning: cooking, learning, laughing, and enjoying a beautiful lunch you made yourself. Bon appétit!

Fresh, handmade tacos. Warm kitchen energy. A musical finale to close the night.

South African Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-05-21 18:30 - 21:00 UTC
South African Braai – A Date Night Cooking Experience
Join us for a bold, flavor-packed evening inspired by braai, South Africa’s beloved tradition of cooking over live fire. This is a feast built on smoke, spice, sweetness, and celebration — layered, vibrant, and unapologetically generous.
Together we’ll prepare peri-peri shrimp with bright heat, curried chicken and apricot sosaties threaded and grilled to caramelized perfection, spiced lamb loin chops, and soy-and-chutney glazed pork belly. On the side, we’ll balance the richness with spicy grilled pineapple, a refreshing watermelon and tomato salad, and coconut curry cauliflower. To finish, we’ll bake malva pudding — tender, syrup-soaked, and served warm.
As always, we cook communally at one long table, learning techniques, sharing stories, and building the feast together. Once everything is plated, you’ll sit down to enjoy the full spread while we take care of the dishes.
Come hungry. This one is lavish.

Taco Tuesday: Tacos Without Borders Cooking Experience
2026-05-26 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago)
Taco Tuesday Gone Global
In 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.
The 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.
This 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.
Then, 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.
Bold. Inventive. Delicious.

BYOB

We’ll have the fixin’s for margaritas, you bring your spirit of choice. Or whatever else you like, we’re doing fusion cuisine tonight!

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.

Pasta Perfecta Hands-On Culinary Workshop
2026-05-30 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
We celebrate the timeless art of fresh pasta-making in Pasta Perfecta, a fully hands-on workshop where flour, water, and creativity come together to form something extraordinary. Together, we’ll explore the many doughs, shapes, and colors that make handmade pasta endlessly exciting.
We’ll begin by mixing a variety of doughs — from sturdy semolina to silky Neapolitan-style flour — and experimenting with natural colorants like spinach, beet powder, carrot, tomato, black garlic, and occasionally saffron. You’ll see how simple ingredients transform into vibrant, flavorful doughs that reflect both Italian tradition and personal imagination.
From there, we’ll roll and shape pasta by hand, learning how to form ribbons, twists, and sheets that can be cut, layered, or stuffed. Using both classic rollers and modern cutters, we’ll create pastas in multiple styles — from delicate tagliatelle and pappardelle to filled varieties like ricotta ravioli or short rib agnolotti.
Along the way, we’ll talk technique, texture, and tradition — from kneading and resting to how different flours and hydration levels change the final bite. This isn’t a meal, but an immersive, tactile experience where you’ll leave with your own eclectic collection of fresh pastas to cook or dry at home.
Whether you’re brand new to pasta or deep into your culinary journey, Pasta Perfecta is a joyful afternoon of flour, laughter, and edible art.

Greek Lunch Cooking Experience
2026-06-01 11:00 - 13:00 UTC
Take a mid-day culinary trip to the Aegean in this cheerful, hands-on Greek-inspired lunch! Together, we’ll create a menu that’s bright, flavorful, and deeply satisfying — the kind of food that feels like a sunny afternoon by the sea.
We’ll start with Avgolemono, Greece’s beloved egg-lemon-chicken soup. Silky, tangy, and comforting, it’s a perfect balance of richness and freshness. Then we’ll toss a colorful Greek Village Salad loaded with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, olives, and feta — simple ingredients elevated by a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano.
Next, we’ll head to the grill for Pork Souvlakia, tender marinated skewers served with cool, garlicky Tzatziki and warm, handmade Pitas that puff up beautifully on the griddle. For dessert, we’ll make Portokalopita, a uniquely wonderful orange-scented custard cake made with crisp phyllo — fragrant, decadent, and utterly irresistible.
You’ll learn how to build flavor with citrus, herbs, and olive oil; how to balance richness with brightness; and how to bring the warmth of Greek hospitality to your own table.
This class is a joyful, hands-on escape to the Mediterranean — an ideal way to spend your late morning cooking, laughing, and eating something truly beautiful.

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Assyrtiko, a floral Moschofilero, a dry Rosé from Crete, a light-bodied Agiorgitiko red, or a sweet Muscat of Samos.

Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night
2026-06-02 18:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago)
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.
We’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.
This class is fully hands-on. You’ll chop, sauté, mash, season, and taste as you go. 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.
After 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.
No rhythm required — just good food, good music, and a night that feels a little different from the usual.
Still Taco Tuesday. Just less… taco-y. Still very Tuesday-y.

Pretzel Baking Class
2026-06-04 18:30 - 21:00 UTC
Get Ready for Pretzel Baking Class!
We 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.
We’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.
Next, 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.
Along 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.
By 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.

Young Bakers’ Week-Long Intensive – Session 1

This summer, Pickwick & Cherry will host a limited-enrollment, week-long baking intensive designed for young bakers who are ready to move beyond cupcakes and boxed mixes.
Students will work in a professional teaching kitchen, learning foundational pastry techniques used in real bakeries. Over the course of the week, campers will mix, laminate, pipe, fill, glaze, and decorate — building both skill and confidence along the way.
Throughout the week, students may explore:

Croissants, danishes & puff pastry (laminated doughs)
Bread baking — challah, brioche, focaccia and other enriched loaves
Pie & fruit tarts — classic short crust pastry
Éclairs & cream puffs (pâte à choux)
Many kinds of cookies — chocolate chip, checkerboard, and royal icing decorated sugar cookies
Chocolate work — transfer sheets, cocoa butter painting, dipped marshmallows & confections
Frozen desserts — ice cream and ice cream sandwiches
Phyllo Dough — baklava, spanokopita, and more
Handmade pastas & tortillas
and other delicious baked goods

Camp is hands-on and technique-driven. Students should be comfortable standing, following multi-step instructions, and working cooperatively in a focused kitchen environment. We will prepare and each lunch together daily, and each baker will take home a considerable amount of baked goods each day.
Because of the size and nature of our space (10 students maximum), placement is determined through application. Our goal is to assemble small groups of curious, capable young bakers who are genuinely excited to learn.
Ideal campers are students who:

Enjoy baking at home
Take pride in precision
Are willing to try again when something doesn’t work
Can stay engaged through longer projects
Are excited to develop real skills

Not every applicant will be the right fit at this time.
Applications will be reviewed and families notified of placement prior to registration.

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!

If you’ve ever dreamed of pulling a golden loaf of bread from your own oven, this class is the perfect place to start! In this friendly, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the foundations of great bread baking — from mixing and kneading to shaping, proofing, and baking — and make it all approachable, practical, and delicious.
You’ll learn how flour, water, yeast, and salt come together to form doughs with very different personalities, and how to adjust hydration and fermentation for the best flavor and texture. We’ll work through three basic doughs that can become a whole bakery’s worth of breads: ciabatta, focaccia, baguettes, Sicilian loaves, bread bowls, and more.
Along the way, you’ll discover how to tell when your dough is ready to move on to the next stage, why moisture matters, and what makes a great crust vs. a soft crumb. You’ll taste fresh bread straight from the oven and go home with an armload of your own creations — plus recipes, techniques, and the confidence to keep baking at home.
