Before heading out to your local sushi bar for your next date night, come to ICE to learn how to create your own sushi and sake bar at home. Together, you'll start by learning the basics of how to make the foundation of all sushi: delicious, seasoned rice. You'll then create a variety of sushi accoutrements, along with vegetables and raw fish. Finally, you'll learn to make traditional hand rolls, maki, futomaki, and nigiri, before sitting down to eat with a refreshing glass of Japanese sake or a cucumber-sake cooler.

If you're looking to spend more than a few hours at a recreational class but don’t have the time or the investment for the full-blown professional track, we’ve designed this course especially for you. In this 13-lesson program, you will cover the foundations of the culinary arts, training you to be an accomplished cook. These classes are derived from the same core curriculum as ICE’s culinary career program and will be taught by the school’s top chef-instructors. Throughout the 13 lessons, you will gain a strong understanding of cuisine and its underpinnings.

Simple and delicious are the themes for this class, which teaches you how to make fresh Italian dishes that are so good --- and easy to execute --- you'll make them for yourself, friends and loved ones again and again. Premium ingredients shine in this menu, drawing from the country's great traditions: Tuscan fennel and raddichio salad; hand-rolled meatballs; risotto Milanese and sauteed broccoli rabe with garlic.

Join us for a unique evening of flavor and connection at our Guided Tea Tasting, featuring the exquisite blends of Dona Tea. The event begins with a one-hour interactive, Tea Tasting , where you’ll deepen your knowledge of unique tea flavors and origins. Then unwind during a one-hour cocktail reception, where you can sip thoughtfully crafted tea-inspired cocktails and enjoy light bites in a relaxed, social setting overlooking the Hudson River. It's the perfect way to toast a Friday night! This tea tasting is led by Navdeep Kaur, the Head of R&D and Education at DONA. DONA, a woman owned tea company based in Brooklyn, focussed on thoughtful sourcing for sustainability and equity in spice and tea trade. It involves a sensory and educational experience introducing tea and tea blends sourced through direct trade from small scale farmers, that makes the quality super high and leaves a positive impact on the food system. We will be tasting teas and botanicals separately and comparatively to understand the balance of blends and the delicate taste of teas and spices. Navdeep Kaur is the Head of R&D and Education at Dona. Born and raised in New Delhi, India, she brings her academic background in sociology, social anthropology, and food studies to her work. At the intersection of theory and practice, her approach to tea explores how human experience is shaped by the forces of capitalism, culinary globalization, and historical context. At Dona, she leads product development, quality control, ingredient sourcing, tea education, and tasting events.
