The Experience

Cook Together. Connect Deeper. Feast Better.

Feast with Friends is more than a dinner. It's a carefully crafted experience where you and your group cook gourmet recipes by Chef Peter Harman of Graze Gourmet, laugh together, and sit down to a feast you made yourselves.

Choose your night: cook and connect at a relaxed pace, or cook and compete for a little friendly rivalry. No cooking skills required. Just show up ready to have the time of your life.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need cooking experience?

Not at all. No cooking skills required, just show up ready to laugh, cook, and feast. Every Feast is guided step by step by a Certified FwF Host.

Can I book a private Feast for my group?

Yes. Reach out and we'll set up a table just for your crew.

How many people will I be cooking with?

Tables seat 6 to 8, so you'll leave with more than a full plate, you'll leave with a team of people who felt like strangers three hours earlier.

Where do Feasts take place?

In the home of a Certified FwF Host, right here in Iowa City. The exact address is shared with you when you book, since it changes with each host and event.

What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

Let us know when you book and we'll make sure your seat at the table is perfect for you.

What makes Feast with Friends different from a regular dinner party?

It's guided, not improvised. A Certified FwF Host leads you through gourmet chef recipes from Chef Peter Harman, so you focus on cooking, laughing, and connecting, not on figuring out what to make.
