Ice Cream Making Workshop

6ff74e82_seeable

Taught by j soma

Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.

This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

To me, the most important part of ice cream is trying to get flavors from the source - whether they're vanilla beans, frozen fruit, coffee or tea, nuts, or whatever else - into the flavor of the ice cream. We'll cover the hows and whys, with a special cameo by Lots Of Scientific Facts. It really isn't tough, you just have to know a few simple rules and you'll be good to go.

Ice cream has about a billion relatives - french style, philadelphia style, gelato, sorbet, sherbet, frozen yogurt - we'll talk about what makes them different from one another, and give a quick rundown of how to make them.

No machine? No problem! I'll show you how to make kulfi, a magic ice creamish dessert that requires all of 3 ingredients and a hand mixer (or a very patient whisker with a very strong arm).

After the class is over we'll segue into an Ice Cream Club meeting, where a bunch of people who make ice cream (and you) hang out and eat each others' concoctions--some awesomely weird, some entirely delicious. 

*We'll probably be doing this every month before ICC meets, so keep an eye out for more sessions! 

This class, like alllll of the others, happens at 515 Court St in Brooklyn, at the corner of W 9th and Court.
