As ICE's creative director, Chef Michael Laiskonis spends as much time working in the kitchen behind the scenes as he does interacting with students. In this demo he will share recent discoveries made in chocolate, confections and plated desserts, in pursuit of both new ideas and a better understanding of classic preparations. A discussion of the inspiration behind the experiments will be accompanied by a demonstration of these dishes --- and, of course, a tasting of the final results. Free for current career students and alumni; general public, $40.
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.
