Are any of the following true for you? In your mind, you are the next Iron Chef. That family recipe for lasagna gets raves from your foodie friends. Baking is your life. Your kids and work colleagues line up for seconds and thirds. Living gluten-free limits your restaurant experience; if only a place would open nearby. That little home catering business you started on the side is more in demand than ever. If one or more of these situations is fueling the urge to turn a culinary passion, hobby or avocation into a business, then this three-hour session may be a quick way to turn up the flames. We will cover the following much-needed information to help get you started: - Define Your Concept: What are you selling, and how are you selling it? - Relate to Your Customers: Who will buy what you sell? - Check Out the Competition: Learn from others. - Legal Do's and Don'ts: Regulations, laws and rules, the health department, company structure, dealing with landlords, etc. - Where to Begin: What steps are needed to get going? - How to Find Help: What can you do, and what help do you need? - Determine a Budget: What are the profits? How much can you make? - What Will Life Be Like Afterward? This is an invaluable class and a unique opportunity to get the perspective of ICE's former director of culinary management, Stephen Zagor --- a veteran restaurant consultant, educator, and former entrepreneur who has helped numerous students get into the business of food.
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.

Sushi-making doesn't have to be limited to the view from a seat at your local Japanese restaurant.

Once you've gotten the basics down, you will try your hand at: sushi rice; maki and futomaki rolls (both thin and thick), inside-out rolls; nigiri and temaki (hand roll).. You will soon learn that sushi is something you too can master.
