Here's How a Cooking Party Runs

Menus

Choose your own menu ahead of time. Portion sizes are the same with both menus.

• COCKTAIL MENU
  • Similar to a tapas menu, our Cocktail Menu is served family style on platters around the room, enabling guests to mix and mingle while dining.
• SIT-DOWN MENU
  • Our Sit-Down Menu is served family style at formal tables with linens, allowing for group discussions, gift exchanges, or even a bit of business during your meal.

Let the Cooking Begin!

Guests arrive and enjoy a complimentary fruit and cheese platter and a chance to chat and transition from the day to cooking time. This is followed by a brief lecture from our chefs, covering the recipes and techniques for cooking your meal.

If you're breaking your guests up into teams, we'll do so now. Each dish from the menu you've chosen will have a station set up with the recipe ingredients and essential tools.

After cooking for approximately an hour to an hour and a half, the food is served and everyone shares the delicious dishes that they so skillfully prepared!

Event Styles:

Cooking-Party

A fluid, house-party vibe, perfect for birthdays, graduations, showers, rehearsal dinners, or just to get friends together to cook.

Team-Building

A fun way to foster healthy competition and communication in the office. Split your group into teams, or we’ll assign teams for you. Each team tackles a recipe on your menu, but everybody enjoys the results!

“Iron Chef” Competition

Our most competitive style of cooking event. Each team in your group takes on one of the recipes on your menu. At the end of the meal, one team will be declared Champions of the Kitchen!

Wine & Other Beverages

We offer complimentary sparkling and still citrus-waters, and will provide natural sodas and fruit juices for an additional $3 per guest. Bring your own wine/beer/spirits - there is no corkage fee at Kitchen on Fire. Take your menu to our friends at Vintage Berkeley wine shop (just around the corner on Vine Street) for a wine pairing consultation and a 10% discount on any bottles you purchase for your event with us.

We also have partners that we can hire on for wine pairing demonstrations during your event.  For more information about incorporating a wine pairing activity with your event, please reach out to us for availibility and pricing.
