Founded in 1975 by Peter Kump, ICE offers highly regarded seven to 12-month career training programs in Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts, Health-Supportive Culinary Arts, and Restaurant & Culinary Management, as well as continuing education programs for culinary professionals.
Our campuses in New York and Los Angeles offer ICE students the opportunity to develop their careers in two of the nation's most exciting food cities. With a global curriculum, dedicated instructors, a strong record in job placements and a clear entrepreneurial focus, ICE is recognized by top chefs and culinary professionals as a leading pathway to begin or continue a wide range of careers.
Notes: We advise students to arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the class start time. It is very important to start all classes on time. Because the lecture and class overview happen at the beginning of each class, losing the first few minutes can make a big difference in the class being successful or stressful for a student.
ICE provides everything you need for your class from aprons to knives and recipes. Students will get to keep the recipe packet you receive in class. In the event that you misplace your packet, email customer service at [email protected] to receive a digital version.
Students can take their food home. There are takeout containers available for transporting your food home.
For those with dietary concerns, there are no substitutions, but we soon will offer meat-free classes as well as gluten-free classes.
Photo Policy: Of course, we encourage photos, so capture memories of your dishes and feel free to tag us @iceculinary!
