Cooking Classes

PIZZA CLASS

Who doesn’t love pizza? We know that we do. Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on pizza night where guests learn the essentials of building a delicious pizza from start to finish—no delivery app required. This interactive class covers dough handling, sauce and topping combinations, and baking techniques for a crisp, flavorful finished pizza. Perfect for groups who want a relaxed, social, and crowd-pleasing culinary experience with just the right amount of flour on their shirts. At the end of the night, we decide the winning flavor combination which comes with bragging rights! Although in our opinion, there is never any losing when it comes to pizza. 

PASTA FROM SCRATCH CLASS 

Guests will discover the satisfaction of transforming simple ingredients into fresh, handmade pasta—and may never look at a boxed noodle the same way again. This hands-on class introduces the basics of mixing, kneading, rolling, cutting, and shaping pasta, along with guidance on sauces or accompaniments that complement the finished dish. It is a warm, engaging option for groups who love classic comfort food with an elevated touch and a perfectly acceptable amount of carb enthusiasm. 

HORS D'OEURVES & CHARCUTERIE CLASS

Designed for hosts and entertainers, this class focuses on creating beautiful, flavorful small bites and a thoughtfully arranged charcuterie presentation—because yes, placing cheese on a board can absolutely be an art form. Guests will learn how to balance textures, colors, and flavors while preparing polished appetizers that are perfect for gatherings, cocktail parties, and special occasions. 

THE KITCHEN BATTLE CLASS

The Fire by Forge Team Building Cooking Battle is a unique culinary experience designed to foster teamwork, creativity, and communication among participants. In this hands-on cooking challenge, groups of up to 12 people will break into two teams and compete against each other to create a three-course meal using a secret basket of ingredients and a limited pantry cart. 

No two classes are ever the same in this Iron Chef meets Chopped cooking experience! What would you do with $50 to spend at our Grocery on Broad? Each team will brainstorm and strategize with one of our chefs to create a menu, and you will have 10 minutes to shop for ingredients. Then the teams will get to work creating their menu. Platters ready for presentation will be judged and shared by the group. A perfect class for team building or a great alternative to a cocktail party with friends. 

COOKIE BAKING CLASS

This sweet and approachable baking class invites guests to mix, scoop, and bake cookies with guidance from the chef—taste testing is not officially required, but let’s be honest; it will happen. Participants will learn helpful baking tips, flavor variations, and finishing techniques while enjoying a fun, nostalgic experience that works beautifully for celebrations, team outings, or casual get-togethers. 

FALL PIE CLASS

Guests will learn tips for building flavor, handling dough, and creating a beautifully finished pie that feels right at home on any fall table— best enjoyed with good company and zero judgement about second helpings.
