ICE is a world class, award winning culinary and hospitality school in Brisbane, Queensland. In 2013, Alison and Steve Taafe had a dream of opening a culinary school that was different from the rest. Their vision was to create a school where students could come to learn in a comfortable, encouraging, supportive and inspirational environment. ICE has some the best teachers in the business, who spend every day helping ICE students to become the best version of themselves and to excel in their chosen career.
Alison and Steve’s vision was for ICE to become a ‘culinary family’ and they have truly succeeded. Students instantly become part of their ‘ICE Family’ and are often heard saying that they have found their culinary home at ICE. Even when they leave after qualifying, they are always welcomed back at any time for any reason. And they do come back too!
Over the last 6 years, ICE has grown rapidly from only having 8 apprentice chefs in the very first class with Alison in 2014, to having trained over 1500 student chefs.
