Who is the team behind Darmstadt kocht?
We're a group of locals who like cooking and meeting nice people.
When does the cooking event take place?
On Saturday 30th of November 2024.
→ First round will start at 6 pm
→ After the three courses, we will have a get together at around 11pm at the Schlosskeller.
I'm not free on that day, will there be another event?
If everything works out well, we try to organize Darmstadt kocht! twice a year. You can sign up for our newsletter to get the latest information.
Where does Darmstadt kocht take place?
The event takes place in shared accommodations, apartments, gardens etc in Darmstadt. After dinner there we will come together at a yet to be defined location.
How do I register for it?
Click on "Anmeldung" or "Registration" and fill out the form. We cannot guarantee to take all registrations as we depend on sufficient kitchens. First come first served.
Is the event for free?
Yes - it is absolutely free. You only need to buy food and drinks for your dish.
Can I register together with another person as a team?
Unfortunately not. It's the idea of Darmstadt kocht to meet as many new people as possible and this works best if you don't know your cooking partner yet.
What's the schedule for the evening?
In the afternoon you should meet your partner to get the last ingredients and prepare your dish.
At 6 pm Darmstadt kocht starts with tasty starters at your first hosts. Leave their place in time to be able to reach your second host place for the main dish.
At 7:30 pm the main dish awaits you in appartment number two! Here you can spend a little more time before leaving for dessert in the last appartment.
At 9:30 pm you should be at your last station for dessert and maybe some drinks.
After 11 pm all participants meet at a location for chatting and getting to know each other a little better.
How do I get a kitchen or an appartment with enough space?
Select "I don't have space" in the registration form. Maybe you have enough space for a starter or dessert? Please select "in case of emergency", as we need as many kitchens as possible. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a bigger kitchen, but we look for a partner with a kitchen for you.
What happens after everybody had dessert?
After 11 pm we'll meet to chat und nicely end the day together.
I really want to cook but don't know any recipes.

Do I need to prepare a luxury dinner to participate?
No, of course not. We don't have any limitations for your dish, but an exceptional and especially good one makes your guests happy.
I don't eat porc/beef/meat at all!
In the registration form you can pick allergies, intolerances and meats you don't eat - not a problem!
Can we choose the appartments and the food?
Of course not. The idea is to get to know new people and new foods.
Somehow I cannot register!

I didn't get a confirmation yet.
You should get a confirmation mail shorty after your registration. If not please send us an e-mail.
How do I know when to be where with whom?
We'll send you a message by November 24th with all necessary information.
What do I need?
Appetite, the wish to meet new people and prepare a good dish.
