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.

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!)

The Mariner’s Feast Date Night Cooking Experience

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.

Greek Date Night Cooking Experience

About This Greek Cooking Class

Transport yourselves to the sun-drenched shores of the Aegean with a hands-on date night celebrating the bold, fresh, and timeless flavors of Greece. Picture the sparkle of the sea, the warmth of a coastal breeze, and the inviting spirit of a Greek taverna where food, music, and laughter flow freely. This class invites you to share that same warmth as you and your partner roll up your sleeves, cook side by side, and savor the joy of creating a meal together.

You’ll prepare a vibrant feast that captures the heart of Greek cuisine. Start with arni me aginares, tender lamb and artichokes simmered in a silky egg-lemon avgolemono sauce, balancing comfort with bright, citrusy elegance. Then move on to garides saganaki, shrimp baked with feta in a luscious, spicy tomato glaze that’s as dramatic as it is delicious. For a satisfying crunch, you’ll make spanakopitakia, golden spinach-feta triangles wrapped in flaky pastry, perfect for nibbling between sips of wine.The meal continues with fresh, pillowy pita bread baked from scratch and a horiatiki salad, a classic village-style medley of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, briny olives, and fragrant herbs. To finish, you’ll craft loukoumades—irresistible honey-walnut puffs that are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and drenched in sweet, sticky goodness.This isn’t just about cooking; it’s about sharing a memorable experience filled with fun, flavor, and Mediterranean hospitality. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or simply a joyful night out, you’ll leave with full hearts, satisfied appetites, and a taste of Greece to carry home. Opa!

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Assyrtiko, a bright Greek Moschofilero, a light-bodied Pinot Grigio, a dry Rosé, or a luscious Vin Santo-style dessert wine.
