Are you a food blogger, shop owner, chef or any other photographer who wants to learn how to create great photos of food --- or refine the skills you already have? Professional photographer Peter Pioppo has the recipe to help you. This advanced two-day, hands-on course helps you develop the comprehensive skills needed to become a better food photographer.

We'll cover: - The equipment necessary to succeed in your mission - How to use multiple types of light sources - The use of props and backgrounds - Food styling - And, perhaps most important, the difference between just documenting food and creating a professional image. After Peter shares his extensive expertise, you will be given assignments to create beautiful food images, further enhancing your hands-on experience. At the end of the workshop, you'll walk away with a vast amount of knowledge, plus professional-looking images of the foods you prepared and photographed. Suggested equipment: - A non-phone camera - A good understanding of basic camera functions - A tripod (some will be provided if you don't own one) - A laptop and tethering cord (a computer workstation will be available if you don't have these). Peter Pioppo has built a unique career working with the most recognizable names in the culinary and beverage worlds. His photography has been featured in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, New York magazine, Food Arts, and many more. Commercial clients have included nearly every major food producer in America, from Ben & Jerry's and Nestlé to Häagen-Dazs and Cointreau.

ICE’s Fine Cooking series are the classes on which our recreational program’s reputation was built. This intensive course expands on our Fine Cooking 1 series and takes a deeper dive into essential culinary techniques. These full-participation classes teach fundamental skills, not recipes. This course covers everything from fileting a fish, to properly sautéing, to cover poaching techniques and fundamental sauce making. As you advance through the series, you’ll gradually come to understand each cooking concept. You’ll have a firm grasp of ingredients and equipment; you’ll know why things happen; you'll learn how to avoid and correct mistakes. Most importantly, you’ll gain the experience you need to cook with confidence and pleasure - without relying strictly on recipes. Each class culminates with a student-prepared meal. Prerequisite: Fine Cooking 1.
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.
While paella may be Spain's most well-known dish, the country has so much more to explore. It’s a culinary dream-spot for trying new flavors and combinations of ingredients. This class will help you discover new favorites, including stuffed piquillo peppers; pan con tomate; grilled shrimp with Romesco sauce; pork marinated in pomegranate and a watercress salad.
