If you’ve ever created a gorgeous dish, propped it all out, taken the photo --- and then sighed with disappointment, chances are your lighting was to blame. In this class, we will start by learning to see and recognize different kinds of light and what they do to an image. Using simple, inexpensive hacks, you will learn when and how to create, diffuse and bounce light. We’ll explore how camera position affects the mood of a shot, and touch on smart ways to ensure your food looks its very best. Whether you shoot with an iPhone or a digital camera, instructor Marge Perry --- who just shot her entire cookbook using only natural light! --- will show you how to improve every photo you take by harnessing the beauty of available light.

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.
Immerse yourself in the food traditions of French cuisine with "French Classics: Coq Au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon." You’ll make two dishes that define rustic French cooking: rich, wine-infused Coq Au Vin (learning to braise chicken to tender perfection) and hearty, slow-cooked Boeuf Bourguignon (learning to layer and amplify deep umami flavors). You’ll also make Haricots Verts Amandine and velvety Cauliflower Puree. Take a “tour-de-food” in this course that teaches essential techniques and cornerstone dishes of the French countryside
Georgian cuisine is finally being recognized for its variety, and the depth of flavors and techniques that characterize its unique culinary traditions. Given the country's location at the exact intersection of Europe and Asia, influences from both cultures have informed the dishes that the region is known for. From the banks of the Black Sea to the Caucasus Mountains, the land provides herbs, nuts and vegetables used in all aspects of its culinary traditions. You’ll become acquainted with the new "it" cuisine as you prepare: adjaruli khachapuri (cheese bread); nigvziani badrijani (stuffed eggplant rolls); tabaka (chicken cooked "under a brick") with blackberry sauce; and chakapuli (braised lamb with tarragon sauce).
