The most intensive of our Italian cooking school programs is the Italian Culinary Experience, or ICE. You begin your Total ImmersionSM Italian chef training in New York City, where you'll spend ten weeks learning the language and history of traditional Italian food, and how to select and prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Once you've built a solid foundation in traditional Italian food, you're off to Italy for nine weeks at the Palazzo Ducale in Colorno. You'll strengthen your knowledge of the Italian language and your understanding of the country's culture while learning how to cook traditional Italian food from some of Italy's top chefs. Once your classroom training is complete, you'll spend nine weeks on-stage, working in an Italian restaurant pre-selected by our Chef-Instructors, further deepening what you've learned in the pressurized atmosphere of a professional Italian kitchen. When your staging experience is complete, you'll return to New York City for your final examination. The Italian Culinary Experience provides a uniquely comprehensive approach to teaching Italian cuisine, one you won't find in any other Italian cooking school.
While developing our curriculum, the fact that many people don't have the ability to attend Italian cooking school full time informed us in our creation of Essentials of Italian Cooking, a program that consists 40 generous hours of talented instruction, for anyone interested in Italian cuisine. As with the other programs in our Italian cooking school, the program is hands-on, and includes Total ImmersionSM ; you'll be cooking from day one.
In Essentials of Italian Cooking, you will get unprecedented access to our renowned Chef-Instructors and our famous hands-on Total ImmersionSM training method when it’s convenient for you. You will not only learn knife skills, but train to cook a variety of traditional Italian dishes from antipasti, stocks, sauces, pizza, pastas, soups, breads, and irresistible desserts. It’s never been easier, with convenient class times and two scheduling options to choose from - so anyone can experience the passion for real Italian cooking.
Regardless of which program is the perfect fit for you, FCI's Italian cooking school offerings provide a solid, comprehensive foundation for your life as an Italian chef.
