Handmade Tacos & Tequila: A Virtual Class

Chef Herve Mallivert takes you on a “voyage gastronomique” in this hands-on class highlighting the splendor of seafood. Your journey starts with a brief outline of the sea’s abundance, followed by a focus on flavor, advanced techniques, and the uniquely high quality seafood of the Northeastern coast. You will then transform one of the most iconic dishes from the Northeast – the lobster roll! – preparing it in brioche with avocado pudding, shellfish and horseradish cream, coriander salt, and seaweed chips. Next is monkfish (a Chef Herve favorite) cooked slowly sous vide and served with lobster dashi consommé, polenta cream, and fried monkfish bites.

Before heading out to your local sushi bar for your next date night, come to ICE to learn how to create your own sushi and sake bar at home. Together, you'll start by learning the basics of how to make the foundation of all sushi: delicious, seasoned rice. You'll then create a variety of sushi accoutrements, along with vegetables and raw fish. Finally, you'll learn to make traditional hand rolls, maki, futomaki, and nigiri, before sitting down to eat with a refreshing glass of Japanese sake or a cucumber-sake cooler.

Treasures abound in Italy's Piemonte region. This gorgeous tasting canvasses the landscape by highlighting some of its gems, centering on the region's tasty Nebbiolos, including Barolo and Barbaresco. But the region has so much more to offer too, with grape varieties like Roero Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto and more. Floral, earthy, red fruit with leather---these wines range from rustic to elegantly regal. ICE's resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, guides your tour of this region's wine delights. The tasting will include at least 8 wines accompanied by some appropriately refined cheeses and other treats.

Rather than standing in line at a crowded restaurant, invite your friends over for brunch. This class will teach you a selection of great sweet and savory brunch dishes that include: frittata; sweet and savory crêpes; scones with citrus curd; and of course, boozy punches!
