ICE’s cooking camps are coming to your kitchen! Join us for this five-day VIRTUAL camp for kids ages 10-17. ICE instructors will teach all the cooking techniques, knife skills and ingredient preparation expertise needed for kids to make their own complete, gourmet meals. Each day brings brand-new skills and fun as well as a delicious meal for a family of four! Your week-long camp menu includes: Day 1 - Breakfast for Dinner: brioche French toast, vegetable frittata, and fruit skewers with honey-yogurt sauce; Day 2 -Handmade Pasta: ricotta cavatelli, sundried tomato pesto, mixed Italian salad; Day 3 - Pizza Day: homemade pizza dough, quick pizza sauce, calzones, toppings and dessert pizza;Day 4 - Steakhouse: steak with herb butter, sauteed spinach with garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes; and Day 5 - Vegetarian/Vegan: black bean quinoa burgers, guacamole and kale chips. These classes will be conducted via Zoom. Participation in this class is for kids ages 10 and up. Throughout the week we will be using knives and other sharp kitchen tools as well as the stove and oven. Adult supervision is advised depending on your child’s age and comfort in the kitchen.
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.

Make rich, gorgeous candies and chocolate to satisfy the child in all of us! On Day 1, we'll cover sugar cooking and caramel cooking, chocolate tempering, gelatin and storage. On Day 2, we'll make a menu that includes: handcrafted gummy bears and sour bears; peanut butter and milk chocolate truffles; lollipops; chocolate fudge; buttercrunch; and sea-salt caramels.
Under the guidance of skilled ICE pastry chefs, you'll learn the art of tempering chocolate. You'll use these tempered chocolates as you practice essential methods for making various chocolate confections. You'll also learn a wide assortment of elegant and colorful chocolate-decorating techniques for your treats. Recipes include: chocolate English toffee; chocolate peanut butter cups; chocolate bark; chocolate bars and chocolate-dipped confections.
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.
Braising - searing at a high temperature, then finishing in a liquid at a lower temperature to infuse flavor - can add umami and more to pretty much any meal! And the best part is, it creates tender, juicy dishes with a minimum of effort. We'll master this technique as we make a braised banquet of: Guinness-braised short ribs with creamy polenta; braised chicken thighs with mushrooms and balsamic vinegar and braised fennel.
