Institute of Culinary Education

I am a dietetics student and some of my cooking classes' instructors come from ICE. They are all so warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable in their field. I decided to come here to take more recreational classes to refine my cooking skills. The experience at ICE was more than anyone can expect - engaging, fun, and lots of hand-on skill building time. In addition, you get to meet new people who shared the same interests as you.

Class structure - Classical Italian Desserts
1. Intro - washing hands & putting on aprons; introduction from chef; kitchen orientation; talking through the recipes & steps; breaking into teams, divide and conquer.
2. Mise en place - prepping ingredients
3. Everyone starts cooking, chef and helpers are around for questions and demo.
4. If you are doing pastry/dessert, waiting for products to bake/chill is why your class hours are long. Patience, patience, patience! In the meantime, you can enjoy a glass of wine.
5. Set and enjoy yours or your teammate's finished products.
6. Best part, you can bring your master piece home to share with your friends and family. They have disposables for take out; for eco-friendly advise, bring your own containers.

Thank you ICE and absolutely loved it!

So much fun! Attended a party which included a class in making sushi. Learned some knife skills and prep skills, but really had fun doing it. Thanks to the chef for making it a night to remember. Although getting in and finding the place was difficult at first, it was worth it! Highly recommended!

Great selection of classes. I've taken two recreational couples classes here and they make great dates.

The sushi class was very popular and had 8 pairs of students (the max), which i thought was too many for a productive class. Every group was doing something different, so although we all got to roll the sushi, not everyone practiced slicing fish or making rice. We ended the class with a delicious group dinner and had plenty of leftover food to take home too!

The duck class was less popular and only had three couples, the perfect amount. We got to do more and still had a great meal and food leftover to take home.
