Create rich and beautiful dishes without a ton of work by learning the ins and outs of braising, a technique that uses searing and then stewing to create juicy, fall-off-the-bone meats and rich, tender vegetables. Along with Chef Cara Tannenbaum, you'll make a menu of: short ribs with sweet potatoes, chestnuts and rice pilaf; lamb shanks with tomatoes, rosemary and mashed potatoes; chicken tagine with olives, apricots and couscous; traditional osso bucco with gremolata and polenta; baby carrots and apples; four onions; butternut squash and coconut curry; and root vegetables and wild mushrooms.
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.

California is the top wine-producing state by far --- and when most people think of California wines, Sonoma and Napa immediately come to mind. But in reality, only about 10 percent of the state's wine comes from these two celebrated regions. This evening’s tasting, hosted by ICE’s resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, pits the two regions' best varietal wines head-to-head in a no-holds-barred face-off! Come help judge the best (or at least your favorites) from these two renowned areas. Of course, some delicious California cheeses will accompany the evening's eight wines!
Make the one-pot profusion of Spanish flavors that paella comprises --- seafood, chicken, chorizo, rice and more --- come to life. You'll learn to make masterful cuttlefish-ink paella and paella from Valencia, in addition to some spectacular Spanish tapas. Your menu includes: garlic shrimp; tortilla española; arroz negro paella; and paella valenciana (paella with shrimp, chicken and chorizo).
The popularity of Korean BBQ is growing, fueled by the DIY aspect of making dinner with friends and family and eating as you cook. You don’t have to have a table with a built-in grill to enjoy your favorite flavor-packed grilled meats at home: grill pans on your stove or an outdoor grill are great stand-ins. Your menu starts with gyeran jjim (steamed egg custard); then moves to the grilling of sokalbi gui (beef short ribs) and samgyeopsal (pork belly) and assorted banchan (spicy vegetable side dishes) complete the meal.
The farms, orchards and of course vineyards of California's wine country combine to turn the region into one of the most bountiful in the U.S. The kitchens of Napa, Sonoma and the Russian River Valley highlight the quality of the ingredients at hand. Learn to make some of those dishes in your own kitchen, including: fig salad with sweet-spiced walnuts, Gorgonzola and Champagne vinaigrette; pork tenderloin with pan-roasted grapes; scallops with pan-roasted grapes and sauvignon blanc; and warm Dijon potatoes with fresh herbs and peas. You will enjoy these with a selection of California wines.
