Learn all about the world of craft beers, from tasting and pairing to brewing methods, language, and more! Zach Mack, the owner of Alphabet City Beer Co., a craft beer store and bar in the East Village, will start with a discussion of different beer styles across the spectrum---bitter IPAs, sour goses, Berliner weisses, peppery saisons, toasty stouts, and much more. After a brief style history and an overview of the vernacular to describe them, we'll move on to food-pairing suggestions and samplings. Finally, we'll have a Q&A session to answer everything you always wanted to know about the world of craft beer drinking, brewing, and industry!

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.

The Festival of Lights celebrates the oil that burned for eight long nights. This enabled the Maccabees to find more oil after the battle when the amount that they had should have burned for one day. Fried foods are traditionally the focus of the feast. Latkes and Sufganiyot (deep-fried jelly doughnuts) are always on the menu. In this class, you will learn to make classic potato latkes; hard cider apple sauce; herbed sour cream and sufganiyot.
There's nothing like the warm, savory scents and flavors of a complete dinner perfect for any fall or winter holiday. From savory, creamy soup to a tender roast to veggie sides and a rich dessert, everything here will thrill guests and family alike. We'll make a complete supper, then sit down to the fruits of our labor, with a menu of: chestnut-wild mushroom soup; herb popovers; horseradish-crusted beef roast; Brussels sprouts with pomegranate; mashed potatoes; and for dessert, cranberry-poached pear with ginger mascarpone.
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.
