Dave Arnold Returns to ICC as Associate Dean of Culinary Technology
The International Culinary Center (ICC), a global leader in culinary and wine education, is proud to introduce Dave Arnold as the Associate Dean of Culinary Technology. After teaching at ICC from 2005 to 2011, the famed culinary innovator launches new courses, “Liquid Intelligence” and “Cooking Issues.”
On November 15, “Liquid Intelligence,” the one-day, lecture style course delves into inventive spirits and cocktail technology. Paralleling the structure of Arnold’s book, Liquid Intelligence, the 6-hour session will explain the theory of classic cocktail technique, balance and recipe development. Arnold will build upon the fundamentals of traditional cocktails to teach new, every day bar techniques, as well as incorporate more demanding and specialized techniques. Students will learn the advancements in cocktail technology and why, when, and how to use these new techniques. Specific skills include shaking techniques, how stirring works, ice production, milk-washing techniques, and more. The course will be $495.
On December 5th, Arnold will also teach “Cooking Issues,” a 4-hour lecture based off of his acclaimed podcast on Heritage Radio Network. The class will demystify the latest in innovative techniques and equipment and students will gain an understanding of commonly used modern culinary technology, such as sous vide machines, liquid nitrogen and more. The courses will be available as one-day classes to both the general public and to students.
“One of my favorite things to do is teach people how to apply new techniques, technologies, and ingredients in a practical way,” says Arnold. “I’m excited to return to the ICC and pick up where I left off teaching culinary technology.”
