At Five and Dime, everyone is welcomed to partake at our table and create in our kitchens. We truly believe that food should be about passion and story-telling, and not about exclusivity. In an effort to reach our goal of exploring how good food, and wonderful folks create community, we offer two unique experiences: Supper Club and Cooking Lessons.
"We had the liquor, the chicken, the music, and each other, and had no need to pretend to be what we were not"

We truly believe that everyone has the right to be a part of the dinner table experience. Can't afford $150.00 a plate?

This experience lasts from 7-12am, and is a combination of meditation, eating, and art. We offer space for the participant to meet with other Copenhagen based artists over a shared meal, generate and share ideas, and engage in critical dialogue.
Our Supper Club is about re-creating & reinterpreting the in-home dinner experience which we all know & love---minus that one crazy uncle who comes around the holidays. At Five and Dime, Creative Digestives is about the exchange of creativity, excellent conversation, & a chance to meet & build relationships in an easy going atmosphere. Chef Amanda collaborates with local Copenhagen artists to bring you fearless & tempting culinary creations based on the interpretation of the artist's work. Here at our table, strangers become known, good music graces your ear, & art speaks to your soul while you dine.
"The people who give you their food, give you their heart."

Five and Dime Cooking lessons are about equipping home cooks with the culinary skills necessary to create a fun dinner experience. We bring the cooking lesson and tools to you. All you need is a working stove, and a can-do spirit. Whether you are hosting a dinner party, creating romantic date for you & a loved one, or cooking for family, we'll take care of you!
Being an amazing cook isn't about following recipes----it's about learning how to think and act like a chef. We'll teach you how to create delicious seasonal dishes, all while having fun! Tell us what you want to learn, and we will work with you to customize a lesson plan to fit your culinary needs. Not sure what you want to learn? No worries, we can also create a lesson plan which will teach you a little bit of everything.

Living & working in Copenhagen, but a native Oakland Chef, Amanda has a degree in English, Sociology, & Culinary Arts. She currently works with Mette Helbaek, co-owner of Stedsans, as a chef & food stylist in-the-making. Previously, she worked with Bryant Terry as his sous chef & fellow food justice advocate. Her culinary focus is community building through meal sharing using quality, seasonal and organic ingredients. A large part of her work includes collaborating with local artists in an attempt to explore how food is a conduit for real & raw emotions. She holds a special interest in food policies which ensure that folks in low-income neighborhoods, war-torn countries, & negligible circumstances have the tools and resources necessary to eat well. Prior to working for Bryant, Yee worked & trained in some of the best Bay Area restaurants, & was a private chef for several different families in San Francisco & both the Oakland & Berkeley Hills. Yee's culinary influences hail from all over the world, but her favorites are The American South, California & The Mediterranean.
