Knife Skills I
A Cooking Foundation Class
Do you have a beautiful chef’s knife at home – and no idea how to use it?
This is probably the most important class you can take to get you into cooking. So many home cooks are using improper technique when using their knives. When you see how much better your knife skills are once you have completed this class, you will be rushing home to show all your friends.
In this session, we’ll teach you the basics for handling your knives, including:
- Knife safety and how to hold your knife properly
- Classic and uniform cuts (Brunoise, Julienne, Suprêmes, chiffonade)
Knife sharpening - How to cut onion properly so it holds together while cutting
- The easy way to cut a pepper
You will be provided with a selection of light snacks to sustain you through the class.
We are happy to provide top of the line Shun and Wusthof chef and paring knives for your use during the class, as well as tips and advice for purchasing the best knives for your needs. These are the same knives we carry in our store.
Did you know that you can also drop off your knives at our store to get them sharpened professionally on the first Thursday of each month?
