A Year Marked by Excellence
- Alumni
- Awards
The ICA is ending 2017 on an exceptionally high note, celebrating yet another golden feather in the chef school’s cap.
In the wake of the school’s two international gold medal Awards of Excellence from City & Guilds, principal and founder of South Africa’s best culinary training insitution, Letitia Prinsloo, was presented with the Lannice Snyman Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 Eat Out Awards on Sunday 19 November in Cape Town.
It has been said that the one criteria that always stand out with regards to a Lifetime Achiever, is not only the long lasting impact the individual has had, but the circumference of this impact and the possible ripple effect their impact will have on more individuals even after the person has retired. The reaction of alumni students passing Letitia Prinsloo’s vision on in their own kitchens, is where the ripple effect changes into long lasting impact on the quality of chefs in the culinary industry for years beyond.
