Day 1 will consist of: Knife skills practice; basic technique instruction (sauté, grill, blanch, and steam); and a tour of ICE’s legendary stewarding pantry.

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.

Any time is the right time to brush up on your chocolate skills!

On Sundays in Italian neighborhoods in Brooklyn, families gather for hearty dinners of Italian-American favorites. You will enjoy the preparation of a generous Sunday dinner including: bucatini with meatballs, sweet sausage and Sunday gravy; chicken cacciatore with polenta; fennel layered with potatoes and breadcrumbs; and broccoli salad.
Throughout Italy, Christmas Eve is the occasion to sit down to a feast of fish and seafood dishes. In this holiday class, we will cover five classic dishes. We will make baccala mantecato; linguine with clams, grilled calamari with aioli and arugula; baked branzino with fennel and olives and zuppa di pesce.
The sauces you will learn to make in this class are not just for special-occasion dishes you'll prepare once a year. Relying on pantry ingredients and reflecting the contemporary cook's lifestyle, they are meant to easily take a grilled meat or poached fish from simple to superlative with a pan reduction, beurre blanc or a pesto. You will master these techniques by making sauteed steak with red wine reduction sauce; poached salmon with beurre blanc and pasta with pesto.
