In the world of Middle Eastern cooking, Syria is said to contain some of the best food in the Arab world. Strategically located along the ancient Silk Route (connecting Asia to Europe), Syria has had easy access to such delicacies from India and China as tamarind, pepper, and rice for thousands of years. Join Jennifer Abadi, Middle Eastern food expert and author of "A Fistful of Lentils: Syrian-Jewish Recipes from Grandma Fritzie’s Kitchen," to learn how to prepare some of the typical recipes from her family’s native Aleppo, Syria. You’ll make and enjoy: fattoush salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, pita chips and za’atar-mint dressing; leek cheese pie with dill and cucumber-mint-yogurt dressing; peas with mushrooms and allspice; sweet and tart okra with tomatoes, prunes and tamarind; long-grain brown rice with fried onions and pine nuts; and filo "fingers" with creamy rosewater pudding and cinnamon. The class includes a copy of the book "A Fistful of Lentils," written by your chef-instructor, Jennifer Abadi.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

Simple and delicious are the themes for this class, which teaches you how to make fresh Italian dishes that are so good --- and easy to execute --- you'll make them for yourself, friends and loved ones again and again.

Hearty hardly begins to describe the extravagant steak feast you'll be making in this class. Not only will you learn how to make the perfect filet mignon, skirt steak and more, but you'll also become versed in the art of rich sauces, like cognac cream, béarnaise and chimichurri. Your saucy menu includes: filet mignon au poivre with cognac cream sauce; onglet béarnaise (hanger steak with tarragon sauce) and skirt steak with olive chimichurri.
Our intensive Techniques of Cake Baking course provides you with a repertoire of classics, such as layer cakes, individual cakes and specialty cakes.

The genius of Tuscan cuisine lies within its simplicity of fresh ingredients. The landscape is a romantic patchwork of grapevines, farmhouses and olive groves. If you and a date are considering an Italian countryside getaway, save yourself the plane tickets and join ICE for an intimate Tuscan feast where you will make: Tuscan chicken liver paté; shaved fennel and radicchio salad; handmade pappardelle with truffle sauce; and bistecca alla fiorentina.
