COOKING CLASSES AT FORK REAL CAFÉ

Come cook with us!

Cooking classes have concluded for 2026! To everyone who joined us to learn something new in the kitchen, thank you!

Our cooking classes are meant to be easygoing, welcoming, and fun. They are a chance to spend time in the kitchen, learn something new, and connect with people who care about good food and community.

Classes are held at Fork Real Café and are led by local instructors who enjoy sharing what they know. You do not need to be an experienced cook or show up with anything other than curiosity and an appetite.

Call the Café at (605) 718-5020 two weeks prior to the class date to guarantee a spot for a class.

Cooking Class Passes

Choose from two Cooking Class Pass options.

  • Class passes are available above. Once you have selected a pass, please call the café at least two weeks before the class you would like to attend to complete registration.

    If you have questions or want help choosing a class, our team is happy to help.

    We look forward to cooking with you!

  • Each class focuses on one theme and walks through the full cooking process together. You will pick up practical tips you can actually use at home and then sit down to enjoy the meal you helped prepare.

    The pace is relaxed and questions are encouraged. It is about learning, trying, and enjoying the process together.

  • Cooking classes are one of the ways Fork Real Café brings people together while supporting our mission.

    These classes help create consistent community programming, introduce new people to the café, and support meals for foster families through optional donations. When you join a class, your time and participation help extend care beyond the kitchen.

  • Class topics change throughout the year and follow the seasons. Themes are announced quarterly so you can plan ahead and choose the classes that interest you most.

    Each quarter includes a mix of practical meals and themed classes that reflect the time of year. Specific class details are shared before the start of each quarter.

  • When you register for a class or pass, you will have the option to add a twenty dollar donation to help Fork Real Café prepare a meal for foster families.

    This option is always voluntary and directly supports the work happening beyond the café.
