Process of Mainz Kocht

To get an overview of what to expect, we would like to inform you here about the schedule. 

How does Mainz Kocht! work?

You can register either alone or with a partner. In case you register alone, a partner will be assigned to you. Throughout the evening, you will participate in three courses – appetizer, main course, and dessert – which take place at intervals of 105 minutes. During these, you will meet two additional, but always different, teams. This gives you the opportunity to meet up to 12 new people over the course of the evening. One course will be assigned to you, which you will then prepare for your guests at the address you choose. For the other two courses, you will be the guests.

Registration

One to two days before the event, we will inform you by email about the specific schedule and which other teams you will meet during the meal. You will also learn about the intolerances and preferences of your guests. 

Waiting List

To better plan teams, a portion of the timely registrations will initially end up on a waiting list. If this happens to you, you will receive an appropriate email from us. It is still very likely that you can participate, however, we may only be able to confirm your participation at very short notice. 

Schedule of Mainz Kocht 

Prepare your course early and as completely as possible, so that you have ample time for your guests in the evening. Pay special attention to your guests' intolerances and eating habits when choosing your dish. You will have been informed of these by email by then.

Leave in time so that you are punctually at your first host's place by 5:00 PM. Set off in time for your subsequent courses. 

The schedule is as follows: 

5:00 PM: Appetizer 

6:45 PM: Main course 

8:30 PM: Dessert

10:00 PM: Get-Together at Die Kulturei in Mainz

Enjoy the food, the exchange, and have stimulating conversations!
