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."
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.
