ICE is pleased to welcome back Chef Stephane Treand this year to teach a hands-on sugar showpiece class, including airbrushing, casting, pulled ribbon, and pulled sugar flowers. Chef Treand is a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF, Best Craftsman in France) who has worked in the United States since 2005. He has been the executive pastry chef at The Four Season and St. Regis hotels in California, coached the bronze-winning USA Team at the International Pastry Competition in Tokyo, and been named one of Dessert Professional’s Ten Best Pastry Chefs in America in 2007 and 2008. One of his recent projects was to open his own school in California, the Art of Pastry Academy. Chef Treand will share his world-level expertise with class participants, help you practice the beautiful art of sugar work, and improve your airbrushing skills.

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.

Immerse yourself in the food traditions of French cuisine with "French Classics: Coq Au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon." You’ll make two dishes that define rustic French cooking: rich, wine-infused Coq Au Vin (learning to braise chicken to tender perfection) and hearty, slow-cooked Boeuf Bourguignon (learning to layer and amplify deep umami flavors). You’ll also make Haricots Verts Amandine and velvety Cauliflower Puree. Take a “tour-de-food” in this course that teaches essential techniques and cornerstone dishes of the French countryside
Much more than just Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc, these two relatively recent world wine powerhouses make some of the most delicious wines available, in every category and every style. This tasting with ICE’s resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, explores the regions' no-holds-barred range of wines---from big, fruity reds to nuanced Pinot Noirs to traditionally produced sparkling wines. A look at each country’s geography, labeling, and complementing cheeses will be included. You'll explore the world’s quintessential winemaking regions in depth. Learn what makes each terroir unique, the characteristics of New and Old World vintages, and the definitive grapes and blends that make each region deserving of special attention. Along with each wine, you'll taste a selection of cheeses from that region, tastily illustrating the culinary adage: "What grows together, goes together"!
