Patagonian Date Night Cooking Experience
2026-03-05 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-03-06 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-03-07 18:30 - 21:00 UTC | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
About This Patagonian Cooking Class
Journey to the windswept edge of South America for an evening inspired by Patagonia’s rugged beauty and elemental cuisine. Picture the snow-capped Andes rising above blue glacial lakes, the scent of wood smoke curling through the air, and the warmth of a shared meal crafted slowly, with care and conversation. This class celebrates the rustic sophistication of Patagonian cooking — where the fire, the sea, and the table meet.
We’ll begin with Chilean salsa and rustic bread, bright with herbs, tomatoes, and a touch of spice. Then we’ll turn to lamb empanadas, golden and aromatic, paired with vibrant chimichurri that cuts through with green heat and vinegar. From there, the menu moves to the sea — a decadent king crab gratin baked with white wine, cream, breadcrumbs, and melted cheese — before returning to the land with roasted Andean potatoes and a crisp, refreshing Chilean salad.
Finally, we’ll finish with baked custard and candied pumpkin, a simple, comforting dessert that captures the sweetness of autumn on the far side of the world.
This is more than a dinner — it’s culinary a journey to the far, far south, a celebration of the elemental and the extraordinary. Warm, bold, and unforgettable, it’s an evening for explorers at heart.

BYOB

We suggest a cool-climate white or light red wine — perhaps a Chilean Chardonnay, Torrontés, or Pinot Noir. Each pairs beautifully with the richness of the lamb, the creaminess of the crab, and the brightness of the chimichurri.

In this hands-on class, you, your partner and your newest friends will prepare a sumptuous menu that celebrates the country’s rich culinary traditions and diverse influences.
We’ll begin with rustic Portuguese cornbread paired with creamy goat cheese and a briny olive tapenade—a hearty introduction to the rustic flavors of Portugal’s countryside. Next, we’ll sear tender diver scallops to perfection and serve them with a vibrant sweet pea and mint purée, a modern twist on classic coastal ingredients.
For the centerpiece, we’ll braise succulent duck in an orange-port wine sauce, a dish that captures the harmony of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors Portugal is known for. On the side, we’ll make crispy roasted potatoes, a simple but beloved staple found on tables across the country.
The evening concludes with a luscious olive oil chocolate mousse, a dessert that combines bittersweet richness with the silky smoothness of Portugal’s famed oils. Each dish we prepare highlights a different aspect of Portuguese cuisine—sea, land, and vineyard—all woven together into a feast of flavor and tradition.
Whether you’re passionate about global cuisine or simply seeking a unique night out, this class offers an engaging and delicious journey to Portugal, right here at home.

Home Cheesemaking Class
2026-03-14 13:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-15 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
How does liquid milk become rich, creamy, and delicious cheese? The answer is both ancient and astonishingly simple — and in this hands-on afternoon workshop, we’ll explore it together through a full lineup of fresh, homemade cheeses.
Join our resident cheesemaker Ryan for an afternoon of curds, cultures, and culinary alchemy as we make an astonishing variety of cheeses right in the kitchen. We’ll start with Ricotta and Paneer, two simple and ancient cheeses that show how easily milk can be transformed. Then we’ll explore cultured varieties like Vache (Fromage Blanc) and Yogurt, and turn that yogurt into Labneh, a luscious, spreadable cheese that’s as versatile as it is delicious. Along the way, we’ll spin that same yogurt into Frozen Yogurt because the only thing better than dairy is dairy dessert.
We’ll also make old-fashioned Cottage Cheese, and even Junket, a nostalgic rennet-based dessert that’s nearly vanished from modern kitchens. Finally, we’ll master the quick-stretch magic of Mozzarella, and, time permitting, create its cream-filled cousin, Burrata.
You’ll learn the science and technique behind each transformation, how to source your ingredients, and how to continue your cheesemaking adventures at home with minimal equipment and maximum deliciousness.
This workshop is part cooking class, part food science experiment, and entirely delightful. Once you’ve made your own cheese, you’ll never look at a gallon of milk the same way again.

BYOB

While BYOB isn’t expected for this cheesemaking class, we suggest a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, or a light, dry cider to pair with your fresh creations if you’re into that sort of thing.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a meal that’s hearty, homey, and unmistakably Irish. In this hands-on class, we’ll explore the comforting flavors of the Emerald Isle, where humble ingredients come together in rich, satisfying ways.
You’ll start with a silky Potato and Leek Soup, the perfect warm-up for a cool March day. Then we’ll bake a loaf of traditional Brown Soda Bread — simple, rustic, and served warm with plenty of Irish butter (because that’s the only proper way to serve it).
Next, we’ll dive into crafting individual Shepherd’s Pies, made with tender ground lamb, carrots, parsnips, and peas, all tucked beneath golden mashed potatoes and baked until crisp and bubbling. We’ll round it out with braised cabbage with apples and caraway, a sweet-savory side that balances the richness of the pie and fills the kitchen with the scent of cozy contentment.
And, of course, no Irish celebration is complete without a touch of indulgence. For dessert, we’ll make a decadent Guinness Chocolate Cake, dark and moist with just a hint of stout’s malty depth, topped with clouds of whipped cream.
Whether you’re Irish by blood or just by appetite, this class is a delicious way to toast to the season. BYOB is always welcome — a pint of Guinness, a crisp Irish cider, or even a splash of whiskey makes a fine companion for the feast.
Come hungry, leave happy, and may the luck of the Irish follow you home

Pasta Perfecta Hands-On Culinary Workshop
2026-03-21 13:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-22 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.

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.
