If you're looking to spend more than a few hours at a recreational class but don’t have the time or the investment for the full-blown professional track, we’ve designed this course especially for you. In this 15-lesson program, you will cover the foundations of the culinary arts, training you to be an accomplished cook. These classes are derived from the same core curriculum as ICE’s culinary career program and will be taught by the school’s top chef-instructors. Throughout the 15 lessons, you will gain a strong understanding of cuisine and its underpinnings. Menu highlights include: hollandaise and béarnaise sauces; consommé with julienne vegetables; whole branzino with red wine nage; grilled ancho chile pork chop with grilled cactus salad; grilled vegetables with romesco sauce; rack of lamb persillade with red wine jus; Tuscan roast loin of pork with garlic and rosemary; pommes Anna; lobster a l'americaine; braised osso bucco milanese with gremolata; risotto with wild mushrooms; bucatini all’amatriciana; handmade pasta; Vietnamese summer rolls; sushi; and pad thai.
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.
