I chose the Plant-Based Culinary Arts program because I had a pretty bad health scare. I needed to change everything about the way I was approaching food and the way I was eating. One of the best things about the Plant-Based Culinary Arts program at ICE was that we were given standard recipes for things and taught classic French techniques and then how to convert them into really exciting ways to approach that same recipe, that same technique, with plants as the feature.
I enrolled in the Plant-Based Culinary Arts program because I was vegan for four years and I felt like it was always more creative — there were a lot of different things you could do with it. I found ICE and I felt like it was a perfect fit for me.
I enrolled at ICE because I needed a career change. I chose the Plant-Based program specifically for the nutrition component. Having been diagnosed with two chronic illnesses, I felt it was important to explore that. I strongly believe in food as medicine and that it is going to be the future of the culinary world.
