Our take
The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) is one of the most influential and enduring institutions in American culinary training. What started back in 1975 as a hands-on cooking program has grown into a nationally recognised, bi-coastal institution with campuses in New York and Los Angeles. With decades of awards, celebrated alumni, and a reputation for staying ahead of culinary trends, ICE has built a rich history rooted in passion and innovation.
Its fast-paced programs in culinary arts, pastry, management, and hospitality have shaped more than 19,000 professionals, while its recreational classes welcome tens of thousands more each year. And it's keeping its curriculum fresh, weaving in everything from plant-based cuisines and sustainability to entrepreneurship and food tech. Combine that with top-tier chef instructors, real-world externships, and a powerhouse alumni network, and it's easy to see why ICE has made such a huge impact.
And even though it's recently celebrated 50 years, ICE isn't acting its age. As hospitality education is changing quickly, the school is evolving just as fast with new additions like hybrid learning, specialty programs, and events that connect students to what's happening right now in the industry. With trends evolving and taste changing, ICE continues to lead the way with fresh ideas and innovation.
