Marc Murphy: The Institute of Culinary Education
is the largest and most active center for
culinary education in New York City.
Gail Simmons: ICE has an award-winning culinary
training program which is only six to 12 months.
ICE really helped me with everything I did
afterwards.
It gave me credibility in the industry.
Richard Simpson: The school offers highly
regarded diploma programs.
One of our goals is to free students from
recipes so that they can become truly creative.
Andrea Tutunjian: Classes are no more than
16 and it gives each student individualized
experience to have a one-on-one interaction
with their chef instructors.
Maureen Drum Fagin: ICE offers a comprehensive
hands-on education class followed by an externship,
which gets you out into the job market exactly
where you want to be.
Job placement services continue well after
graduation.
Abbey Chieffalo: Externships at ICE are a
foot in the door for our students.
A lot of them have never really worked in
the industry before, so this is helping them
put that experience that they learned in a
classroom, all those skills into practice,
putting work experience on the resume, gaining
a reference who can recommend them for future
jobs later on.
An ICE education opens the same, if not better
doors than other leading culinary schools
in the industry.
James Briscione: At ICE, we explore the endless
possibilities in today�s culinary world.
Sabrina Sexton: ICE alumni and the school
itself have won numerous awards over the last
35 years and have gained national recognition.
Ivy Stark: ICE is considered one of the nation�s
leading culinary schools because of the quality
of its alumni.
I think it�s the New York City location
that has a lot to do with that, really driven
people are motivated to come here and work
with the best.
Rick Smilow: The school was founded in 1975
by educator and entrepreneur Peter Kump.
Kump�s colleagues included Julia Child and
James Beard who were also guest instructors
at the school.
Michael Laiskonis: Another great feature at
ICE is its program of professional development
where professionals can come in and continue
the learning process because chefs never stop
learning.
Tina Bourbeau: I got to work with these great
chefs that were coming through the school
and doing demos and other schools did not
offer that.
So I had an automatic advantage.
Cindi Avila: ICE is home to the largest recreational
program of cooking, baking and wine classes
in the world.
Every year more than 26,000 people enjoy learning
techniques, skills and experiencing flavors
and recipes from every corner of the globe.
The same courses are available to career students
as electives.
Cindi Avila: ICE is also a focal point for
entertainment hosting over 500 hands-on cooking
parties and corporate and press events each
year.
Paras Shah: After I graduated college, I went
into sales and it wasn�t very happy.
But ICE helped me change that and I am loving
every minute of it.
Zac Young: ICE is the best place to take your
passion for food and make it a career.
Kelly Senyei: After I graduated from ICE one
of the instructors told me this is your last
day as a student but your first day as a colleague.
Gail Simmons: ICE has helped more than 10,000
students find their culinary voice.
You should be next.
