Good cooking has nothing to do with fancy equipment, complicated recipes or hard-to-find ingredients. The fundamentals are really quite simple: It’s all about instinct, technique and freshness. ICE alum Annemarie Ahearn, who has been teaching at her Maine cooking school, Salt Water Farm, for over a decade, believes that developing these essential skills can lead to a greater sense of confidence and fulfillment in the kitchen. In this class, students will review the basics of country cooking: how to properly use and hone a knife, make fresh bread and butter, season and employ cast iron in the kitchen, use a mortar and pestle to make a transcendent salad dressing, build a basic homemade stock, and make a simple and sensational pie dough and vanilla custard. Your menu includes: fresh focaccia with lemon, herbs and homemade seasoned butter; orecchiette with green peas and ricotta; farro, asparagus and arugula with herbed buttermilk dressing; cast-iron chicken thighs with leeks, mushrooms and cream; and strawberry galette with vanilla bean custard. Each student will receive a copy of Annemarie’s new book, "Modern Country Cooking: Kitchen Skills and Seasonal Recipes from Salt Water Farm."
