Chef Sarah Chaminade is a mother of two, so she knows what it's like to have picky eaters---and how to keep your child entertained at the kitchen table. She also realizes the importance of knowing where your food comes from, so she uses fresh and local ingredients whenever possible. In this fun and interactive class, parent and child will follow along to make delightful themed recipes together, then enjoy eating the completed dishes---and listening to the story at the end! This class, celebrating "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," is not for the chocolate faint of heart! We'll honor Willy Wonka himself by preparing everything chocolate, which both parents and kids will enjoy. We'll make: Hand-Rolled Truffles; Chocolate Bark; Chocolate-Covered Popcorn; and Chocolate Clusters. *Limit 2 children per adult. All children and teens must be accompanied by an adult. Everybody attending class must be registered.*
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.

ICE's resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, pulls out all the stops for this very special holiday class. Too many people are intimidated by champagne, tending to tiptoe around it instead of enjoying and serving it with food. No longer! In this class, you will dine on beautiful hors d'oeuvres along with a select group of sparkling wines. Your evening begins with a discussion of the origin and making of sparkling wine, while tasting various examples---from non-vintage to vintage to rosé. The highlight of the tasting will feature a Prestige Cuvée Champagne paired with an American challenger. The class rounds out with students enjoying a buffet of classic luxury food matches while indulging in additional bubbly, making for a sparkling winter evening to remember! We'll taste at least nine wines, plus foods.
