Join Chef Emily Peterson for a two-day class on how restaurants develop and present a new dish. 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. Day 2: Students will inspire each other to each create a restaurant-ready dish and present it to a panel of esteemed judges, who will provide helpful feedback for making it in the restaurant world!
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.

Do you need an antidote for the cold weather? Can that antidote never be too rich or too flavorful? How about spending a whole evening with lush red wines from around the world and hearty cheeses that match them? Richard Vayda, ICE's director of wine studies, will discuss cheesemaking and cheese service, as well as red wine and food pairing, as you sip and eat the evening away. We'll taste at least eight wines, plus matching cheeses.
Nothing says summer like pure, fresh lobster rolls---and few drinks wash it down like a bright, crisp Rosé. Our chef guides you through the essential techniques and flavors of the lobster roll, along with appropriate sides (perfect for a beachside picnic) and paired wines. Your menu will include: Classic Maine Lobster Salad Roll; Connecticut Lobster Roll (warm lobster with drawn butter); Seafood Shack Coleslaw; Quick Dill Pickles; and Homemade Potato Chips. Enjoy your complete meal at the end of class with a glass of Rosé.
The lush, green Pacific Northwest is famous for its wild salmon, oysters and beers, but that's just the tip of the gastronomic iceberg. Its forests are home to mushrooms and berries that turn up in countless recipes. Cedar planks become grilling beds for fish, meat and vegetables, imparting them with the unmistakable flavor of the Northwest. You will learn how to use these techniques and ingredients to make: Pacific oysters with mignonette; pan seared salmon with crispy skin and blackberry sauce; sautéed mushrooms and herbs; salt-and-vinegar potatoes; and kale, hazelnut and goat cheese salad. You will enjoy those with a selection of wines from the region.
Expand your knowledge and techniques in preparing dishes using fresh pasta dough, homemade sauces, fresh herbs, and more. Over the course of the evening, you will learn to create intricate, trattoria-quality pastas, such as: Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Sauce; Ricotta Cavatelli with Peas, Mint and Lemon; and Spaghetti Carbonara.
