Class Description

Description

Three fun, hands-on lessons to build your skills and confidence in the kitchen.



Never cooked before? Tired of takeout? Whether you’re on your own for the first time or just want to feel more at home in the kitchen, this beginner-friendly class is for you.

Over the course of *three relaxed, 3-hour sessions, you’ll learn to cook simple, delicious meals from scratch—and actually enjoy the process. No experience? No problem. We’ll start from square one and walk you through essential techniques like:

  • Chopping veggies like a pro (without losing a finger)
  • Making vinaigrettes, pastas, and easy desserts
  • Sautéing, roasting, and basic knife skills
  • Planning meals and using your equipment wisely

Each class features a full menu you’ll cook yourself—think tacos with homemade guac, roast chicken with crisp veggies, and even ice cream tiramisu. You’ll leave each session with new skills, new confidence, and a full belly.

Sample menus include:

  • Guacamole & chips, DIY taco bar, tres leches cake
  • Caesar salad, roast chicken with root vegetables, blueberry crisp
  • Shrimp cocktail, garlic bread, fettuccine Alfredo, arugula salad, ice cream tiramisu

By the end of this course, you’ll be making real meals with real ingredients—and having a great time doing it.

School 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!

Refund Policy

There are no refunds or school credit issued when fewer than 48 hours’ notice from the class start date is given. Prior to 48 hours’ notice, a full refund is available, minus the transaction fees. The Institute of Culinary Education reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment. 

In case of cancellation, all students will be notified and a full refund will be given.

There are no make-up classes.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
