The French Steakhouse

Israel, considered the center of the universe in ancient times, is at the juncture of Europe, Asia and Africa, with its coast on the Mediterranean. Its cuisine reflects the influences of all of the cultures around it, and the refugees who have settled there in modern times. You'll explore modern and traditional Israeli cooking when you make: cheese bourekas (flaky pastry-filled puffs); fried cauliflower with tahini sauce; chicken meatballs in tomato sauce with toasted Israeli couscous; and fattoush (pita salad).

Bordered by both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, with snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys, the diverse geography of France offers the best ingredients from the land and sea. You'll get a taste of the best of all those regions in this class. For your Francophile meal, you will prepare and enjoy frisée salad with shallot-bacon vinaigrette; steak frites (sautéed steak with hand-cut french fries); bouillabaisse (seafood soup from Marseille); and honey lavender blanc mange.

Skip the supermarket and come to ICE to produce your own handmade pasta. In this three-hour class, you'll put your muscle into making two fresh pastas and enough sauce to dress those steaming bowls at home. You'll leave the class confident in your pasta-making techniques, and you'll want to create your own variations on these essential pastas. On your menu: Spinach Fettucine; Egg Pappardelle; and Marinara Sauce.
