welcome

The Gathering Table is an interactive cooking class for anyone who enjoys cooking, eating good food or just looking for a unique cooking experience. Our hands-on classes are designed to create a delicious family style meal focused around fresh ingredients and scratch made cooking. 

THE EXPERIENCE

Our goal is to make gourmet cooking fun and easy in a kitchen that is warm and inviting. Whether you are looking to learn something new, enjoy a unique night out or celebrating a special occasion we’ve got a menu that you are sure to enjoy. We’ve created a kitchen for guests of all cooking levels and our staff is there to help you every step of the way!

It takes a village to get a great meal on the table.  Our class menus are divided among 4 stations in the kitchen.  While you may not be preparing the entire menu, you do get to enjoy eating the whole menu.  We serve the appetizers as soon as they're ready and the remainder of the meal family style gathered around the table.
