Event Description:
TASTE OF CIA COOKBOOKS When it comes to cooking, we wrote the book—and then some! Our wide variety of cookbooks cover just about every culinary niche, from brunch and breads to butchery and braising. In these 5-hour hands-on classes, you'll chop and cook and bake from our pages and then take the book home to do it all again in your own kitchen. Maximum enrollment: 14 people per class Pricing: $250.00 per person Soups: What could be more comforting than a bowl of homemade soup? Whether it’s clear broths, creamy purees, chunky gumbos, or rib-sticking chowders, there is a soup to suit every season and nearly every occasion. Soup preparation provides essential culinary lessons, from flavor development to seasoning. This class focuses on the fundamental techniques and characteristics of various soup categories. During this course, you will discover just how versatile soups can be when you prepare a selection of satisfying bowls based on a variety of meats, legumes, and seasonal vegetables. Participants of this class will receive a CIA logo apron and a copy of The Culinary Institute of America’s Book of Soups to take home with you.
