  OUR FOOD      
         
         
  Food at The Institute of Culinary Education is more than just an exercise; it is an expression of our commitment to excellence. We take great pride in the food made at the school, night and day, seven days a week. It is a result of four important factors:   culinary students  
         
  Our Chef - Instructors and Our LocationOur Instructors all have extensive experience in New York City, home of some of the most demanding and highly regarded restaurants in the world. They carry into the classroom the same high standards and expertise they learned on the job.   Our Heritage — For thirty years the Institute of Culinary Education has been a leader in culinary training. We are committed to upholding the standard of excellence set by Peter Kump, who was the founder of the school and of the James Beard Foundation. Through its activities and awards, the James Beard Foundation has played a leading role in recognizing chefs' accomplishments and outstanding cuisine in America.  
         
  Our Management All members of our management staff are food-savvy. In fact, many of them have either run high-level kitchens or owned successful restaurants. And strong chef connections, including an outstanding advisory council, ensure that the Institute of Culinary Education's standards remain high.   Our Curriculum Our programs are specifically designed to introduce our students first to the ingredients and techniques of classic French cooking and baking. As they progress in their studies, they become acquainted with global foods, flavors and techniques - from Thai and Indian to Italian and Latin - to keep pace with the expanding, ever-curious American appetite.
