Free Online Cooking Classes

Virtual Instruction from ICE Experts

The premier recreational cooking school debuts online versions of our consistently sold-out classes with all-new menus and professional chef instruction via live video.

The Institute of Culinary Education's recreational division is known for offering hundreds of cooking, baking, beverage and professional development classes a season for thousands of people a year. In 2020 and 2021, we added free online cooking classes to the menu for home cooks of all levels via Zoom Webinar. Our professional chefs had so much fun guiding you through plant-based comfort foods, the ultimate cookies, one-pot paella, festive Taco Tuesdays and basic sous vide techniques. We're thrilled to be back in the kitchens on campus.

The date of our next virtual cooking class is coming soon!
