Knife Skills 101

Menu: A light snack will be served.

Class Description: Having a healthy fear of knives is natural. But learning a few basic skills and fundamental cuts can infinitely boost your confidence in the kitchen. In this hands-on class, you'll hone basic knife skills and practice the fundamental cuts—mince, dice, brunoise, bâtonnet and julienne. Plus, our instructor will teach you a few advanced techniques and offer tips for keeping all your knives maintained and sharp. You'll use these knife skills every time you cook, so if you only take one cooking class, this should be it!
