Bavarian Lunch Cooking Experience

Prost! Join us for a cozy and satisfying afternoon of hands-on cooking as we explore the hearty, flavorful world of Bavarian cuisine. This lunch menu is full of regional favorites that are perfect for cooler days and classic comfort.

You’ll make traditional Weißwurst (Bavarian white sausage) served with sweet mustard, along with pillowy homemade Brezen (pretzels), a warm potato salad with bacon and vinegar, and richly spiced braised red cabbage. For dessert, we’ll bake a rustic Zwetschgenkuchen—a juicy German plum cake with a tender, buttery base.

Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots or just in it for the pretzels, this class is a delicious taste of Southern Germany you won’t want to miss!

BYOB

We suggest a crisp German Helles lager, a smooth Weissbier (wheat beer), a lightly sweet Riesling, a dry Grüner Veltliner, or a glass of plum brandy (Zwetschgenwasser) to pair beautifully with the plum cake. 

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!

“Hey Honey!” Tasting Experience

Join us to learn all about honey and sample a variety of rare, exotic and gourmet honeys! Most of us have only sampled wildflower honey, or perhaps clover, alfalfa, or orange blossom honeys, but did you know that honey can have a wide range of flavors beyond just sweet — some honeys are even bitter! We’ve been collecting some of the world’s most unique monofloral honeys, including blueberry blossom, watermelon, Brazillian Pepper tree, Strawberry Tree, macadamia, lychee, eucalyptus, African Beechwood, buffalo thorn, myrtle and more, and we can’t wait to share these unique bee-creations with you.

Pretzel Baking Class

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.

Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience

About our Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience

Prost! Get ready to raise a glass and celebrate Oktoberfest with a night full of flavor, laughter, and hands-on Bavarian cooking. This isn’t just any cooking class—it’s a lively date night that captures the warmth, heartiness, and cheer of Germany’s most famous festival. Think clinking steins, the smell of fresh-baked pretzels, and the joy of cooking something delicious together. Lederhosen and dirndls are totally optional—but if you wear them, you’ll definitely earn extra applause!

We’ll kick things off with warm pretzel pockets—golden brown on the outside, soft on the inside, and stuffed with gooey cheese, smoky ham, and tangy mustard. (We’ll prep the dough in advance so you get straight to the fun part: stuffing, shaping, and baking!) Then, roll up your sleeves to hand-make spätzle noodles just like Oma would have made them. Next, we’ll simmer beer-braised bratwurst with sauerkraut until juicy and savory, and toss together a warm German potato salad that’s bright, tangy, and just the right amount of comfort food.

And because no Oktoberfest is complete without something sweet, dessert is a show-stopping, team effort: a giant, six-foot-long apple strudel! Together, you’ll stretch the dough paper-thin (don’t worry, we’ll teach you the tricks of the trade), fill it with cinnamon-spiced apples and toasty breadcrumbs, and roll it into a golden, fragrant masterpiece. When it comes out of the oven, the first slice will have everyone grinning.

Bring your favorite Oktoberfest brew, your favorite person, and your best appetite. We’ll bring the recipes, the music, and the fun. By the end of the night, you’ll feel like you’ve danced, cooked, and feasted your way through Munich—without ever leaving the Ozarks.

oktoberfest lebkuchenherzen

BYOB

We suggest an Oktoberfest/Märzen beer, of course! If you prefer wine, any white German or Austrian wine would be perfect (dry or sweet, take your pick!)

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!

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.”
