Director of Culinary Research and Development Barry Tonkinson invites high-level chefs from around the world to our New York campus for advanced demonstrations of their signature techniques and dishes. The monthly demos have featured the likes of Fredrik Berselius, Eunji Lee, Paul Liebrandt, Ana Ros and Nicolas Sale. In 2020, we began live streaming the events on YouTube, hosting chefs from Lisbon to London virtually.
In ICE’s Culinary Technology Lab, students have the chance to explore the culinary craft with modern equipment and techniques. From our tandoor oven to our plancha, hearth oven and vertical rotisserie, the lab’s Wood Stone equipment serves up a wealth of fresh, flavorful opportunities. The lab also boasts equipment for the leading modernist techniques, from sous vide technology to rotary vacuum evaporators, ultrasonic homogenizers and more from Polyscience. Director of Culinary Research and Development Barry Tonkinson hosts Open Lab Days with guided demonstrations using this equipment.
At ICE, students have the opportunity to explore the latest culinary techniques using state-of-the-art culinary technology, coaxing essential flavors out of ordinary and exotic ingredients using sous vide cooking, whipping canisters and a variety of modern techniques. Students study under the guidance of modernist cuisine experts, including ICE’s Director of Culinary Research and Development Barry Tonkinson, whose mantra is to "always keep pushing."
