By popular request, ICE has developed this series of classes for those of you who want to learn to prepare a full menu in one evening. Inspired by some of our most popular classes, each team of two will prepare its own appetizer, main course, two side dishes and dessert. You will then sit down to eat as a group. If you cook for yourself, or for two, these menus are ideal for a weekend supper, or can be scaled down for a quick weeknight meal. Sure, you could go to a steakhouse for a rich evening out on the town---or you could make it yourself with a surprisingly low amount of fuss, and control each element to cook it to your liking. From salad to a porterhouse to hash brown potatoes to baked Alaskas, you'll recreate a complete experience in the comfort of your own kitchen. Your updated steakhouse menu features: Beet Salad with Oranges, Fennel, and Hudson Valley Goat Cheese; New York Strip Steak with Balsamic-Thyme Reduction; Roasted Shallot Hash Brown Potatoes; Sauteed Spinach with Pine Nuts; and Individual Peanut Butter and Chocolate Baked Alaskas.
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.

Hearty hardly begins to describe the extravagant steak feast you'll be making in this class.

Your saucy menu includes: filet mignon au poivre with cognac cream sauce; onglet béarnaise (hanger steak with tarragon sauce) and skirt steak with Rojo chimichurri.
Do you have a spice blend in your cabinet that you picked up on vacation, but you're not sure how to use it?

We'll travel around the globe as you learn to create spice blends like: Indian masala; Jamaican jerk seasoning; French herbes de provence; and Moroccan ras el hanout. You will then use these aromatic spice blends to prepare: Provençal vegetable gratin; jerk chicken wings; and cauliflower tikka masala.
