On your next trip to Germany, come back with even more than breath-taking photos and the few extra pounds you don't regret.

At Hyatt hotels across Germany, our head chefs and bar managers are at your disposal for monthly classes, turning you into an expert chef or mixologist. In small groups, they'll teach you all the tricks of the trade in either themed cooking or cocktail classes. Each property has something new to teach each month, and they'll even let you leave with digital copies of the recipes.

Let us wet your appetite with a menu of what guests can expect:

The chefs at Grand Hyatt Berlin just wrapped up a class this week all about cooking with fish and shellfish. And this month, Hyatt Regency Cologne will be walking guests through the Far East with special dishes from sushi to Thai curry. In April, try your hand at the best lamb dishes and learn all you need to know about cooking with morels, goat cheese and rhubarb at Park Hyatt Hamburg. Or, visit Hyatt Regency Mainz this May for the secrets behind all the most famous cocktails in movies, or take the cooking class where they'll reveal the perfect spring pairings of asparagus and strawberries.

No matter your German destination, you'll return from your travels ready to host the perfect springtime dinner party or killer cocktail hour!
