Ramen!  That richly-seasoned noodle soup from Japan, whose broth should send shivers down your spine with delight. If you live near a good ramen shop, you are in luck. If not, then consider yourself equally lucky enough to have an excuse to make it from scratch, chewy noodles and all. 

• Chicken-Miso Ramen Broth
• Homemade Ramen Noodles
• Crispy Pork Belly
• Soy-Marinated Jammy Eggs
• Ramen Accoutrements (scallions, bok choy, nori, chile oil)

We love salt. And while we use salt in 100% of our cooking classes, we thought it should star in a class of its own. We'll do a deep dive into all the different varieties out there and how and when to use each crystal.

• Salt-Baked Whole Fish
• Salt Potatoes
• Salted Soft Lettuce Salad with Dijon-Shallot Vinaigrette
• Salted Caramel Sundaes

• Classic Beef Bourguignon
• Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
• Chicory Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
• Tarte Tatin (upside-down caramelized apple tart)

• What makes something "local"
• Why "organic" is not the most important label at the market
• What is currently in season and at its peak of flavor
• What are the most important products to buy at the market
• Tips for choosing the best produce

After 45 minutes of tasting and shopping, we'll head downtown via subway to our cooking school in SoHo where…
