Culinary Workshops
Bring Gefilteria Workshops to Your Community
We make sure our hands-on workshops are as fun as they are informative. We empower all participants to get in the kitchen and think creatively about their cooking.
We develop workshops for leading companies (Stripe, TrueCar, S) and organizations (Jim Joseph , Nathan Cummings, Hillel Int’l, etc.) for team building and entertainment. We also lecture and present cooking demos to many communities and cultural organizations (Museum of Food & Drink, JCC Manhattan, Brooklyn Public Library, etc.).
Interested? Please contact us with as many details as you have (where, when, who) and we’ll get back with logistics and fees.
A few of our most popular workshops
The Shtetl Kitchen
Interactive Slide Lecture, 1 hour
If you’re interested in history and culture, we’ll lead you through a dynamic discussion on Eastern European Jewish foodways, past and present. We’ll discuss exciting discoveries about seasonal Jewish eating, holiday cooking, and culinary wisdom which will transform everything you thought about Ashkenazi gastronomy. We will dive into goose, gefilte fish, cabbage, kugel, and more.
The Art of Pickling
Interactive Workshop, 1 hour
Delve into the world of pickling the old-fashioned way and make your own jars of sour and half-sour pickles and sauerkraut. You'll learn about the exciting world of vegetable fermentation, and, let’s be honest, you’ll never look at a jar of pickles the same way again.
Crossing Delancey
Interactive Workshop, 1 hour
If you’re a New Yorker at heart or just missing the Big Apple, this workshop’s for you. We’ll explore some of the most well-known NYC foods including bagels and bialys, knishes, celery soda, egg creams, Jewish deli classics, and more. We’ll get hands-on making knishes or bialys so you can bring a little NYC flavor to your kitchen.
