The Institute of Culinary Education is happy to welcome three extraordinary bakers who will share their knowledge, wisdom and craft about bread, baking and grains in "Grains Across America," a class scheduled at ICE on June 13, Saturday from 1-5 pm. Amy Scherber of Amy’s Bread in NYC, Leslie Mackie of Macrina Bakery in Seattle and Sarah Black of SarahsBread in Columbus (one of the first bakers of Tom Cat Bakery), who have been friends and colleagues in the baking industry for 30 plus years, will be teaching about bread within the context of their favorite grains, including whole grains, heritage and ancient grains, and especially grains from their dedicated locales. The class will be both hands-on and demonstration, and divided into three segments, approximately one hour per teacher. The students will leave with recipes, grains, breads, new skill sets and the knowledge and confidence to take their breads to a new flavor and textural level. Following the class from 5:30-7:30 pm there will be a reception with bread, cheese and wine to include a panel discussion moderated by Amy Halloran, whose book The New Bread Basket will be the theme of the evening, the topic of discussion will be how new old grains are changing our daily loaf. This unique opportunity to celebrate friendship, break bread, converse and support common goals is not to be missed.

Sitting down to an assortment of dim sum in a bustling restaurant is the culmination of a weekend stroll through Chinatown. It's never easy to choose from the myriad of delicacies that pass by the table, or to not try just one more thing. In this class, you will learn to prepare a variety of popular dim sum dishes, to impress family and friends with a feast of your own. You will make: shrimp shao mai; spring rolls; spareribs with balck bean sauce, and pan-fried vegetable dumplings with spicy dipping sauce.
Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking, and doesn't have to be scary or frustrating. Many home and even professional cooks don't always wield a knife correctly, however, which increases food preparation time and makes the process harder --- and less safe --- than it should be. Simply put, good knives are the foundation of a well-equipped kitchen. This class remedies all these basic issues: You will learn how to slice, dice, chop, and much more in the safest and most efficient manner. This class will even guide you through the practice of keeping your knives sharp and handling them correctly.
