Darmstadt kocht! is coming back 2024! - participation still possible

You can enjoy the next three-course meal will be on 30th November 2024. You can still register here for our waiting list and follow us on Instagram and facebook.

Darmstadt kocht! – A three-course meal throughout town with an after-dinner event

Do you like to meet new people and enjoy cooking? Join Darmstadt kocht! – a free cooking event in Darmstadt.

You get assigned a course and a cooking partner by lot. Together you form a team of chefs and prepare a dish. For each course there is a host team and two guest teams. This means that with every meal you meet two other teams. To complete the evening all chefs will meet at Schlosskeller after the dessert.

How does it work exactly?

1. You register for Darmstadt kocht! You don't have a kitchen or not enough space für 6 people around the table? No problem! We will assign the teams so that your cooking partner has a kitchen and enough space to eat.

2. You will receive an e-mail with name and contact details of your cooking partner. The mail also contains information about your course, so that you know whether you will prepare the starter, main dish or dessert. You will also be informed whether one of your guests has an intolerance or is a vegetarian. In the e-mail you will also find out at which places you’ll be for the other courses.

3. Now it’s time to get creative. Decide with your partner what dish you will prepare.

4. Darmstadt kocht! begins! The evening could happen like this:

Preparations: Let’s say you and your cooking partner are responsible for the main course. You meet in the afternoon to prepare everything for your guests before you leave and meet two other teams for the starter. Don't forget to have enough drinks for you and your guests!

Starter: Together you meet at 6 pm for the starter at your first host’s place. You will get to know two more teams and can start the evening with the first culinary delight.

Main course: The teams now separate and go their own ways for the main course at different places. But you’ll meet again at the after-dinner party. Your guests – again two new teams – arrive at 7.30 pm. Together you enjoy the main course.

Dessert: Now it’s time to say goodbye again. You and your cooking partner need to be at your last host by 9.30 pm. Here you can enjoy the dessert and maybe some drinks to get ready for the party.

After dinner gathering: At 11 pm everyone meets again to share stories and recipes and chat (and perhaps dance?) with new friends.
