Born in South Korea, Eunji Lee studied pastry arts at the Institut National de la Boulangerie Patisserie in Rouen, France and Ecole Ferrandi in Paris before working with Chef William Ledeuil at Ze Kitchen Galerie in Paris for three years. She went on to train at three-Michelin-starred Le Meurice under Chef Alain Ducasse and Pastry Chef Cedric Grolet for the following four years. In 2016, Eunji moved to New York to combine her French technique with Korean ingredients at two-Michelin-starred Jungsik, where she offers a five-course dessert tasting menu. Eunji took second place at the 2019 Valrhona C3 North American Final and was a finalist on season 4 of French competition show "Qui sera le prochain grand pâtissier?" (Who will be the next great pastry chef?) in 2017. She’ll share a signature dish with tastings and answer questions about her distinct style and fine dining experience.
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.

This tasting examines time-honored Old World wine styles, shoulder to shoulder with New World interpretations of the same grape or blends. This lively discussion will highlight some selected matchups in a fun and relaxed blind-tasting format. ICE's resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, will lead the tour of classic Old World and modern New World wines (both cork and screw cap), as we discuss, taste and rate our favorites. Is it a Bordeaux or a California cabernet blend? A South Australia or German riesling? Cheese and other nibbles for pairing will be offered in between.
The Loire is France’s longest river, and also home to a large and varied wine making region. Crisp sparklers, mineral-driven whites, refreshing rosés and fruity reds, with choices from dry to sweet; this northern region seems to have it all! This tasting, led by Richard Vayda, ICE's resident sommelier, reviews some of the classic and essential wines of this ancient winemaking region. Discussions will include French wine regulations and labeling, as well as a taste of some regional cheeses, tastily illustrating the culinary adage: "What grows together, goes together"! The class will sample at least nine wines.
