Whether you cook every day or just occasionally, great knife skills are a time (and finger) saver in the kitchen.
You will learn the basics:
- choosing the right tools
- setting up your prep station
- properly holding your knife.
In this class, you will practice 10 basic cuts, including how to chop, dice, slice, mince, and roll cut. Know how and when to choose the right cut of garlic. You’ll cut an onion into perfectly even squares in under 60 seconds. With your newly honed techniques, you will become more efficient and consistent. You will reduce waste and keep yourself safe!
Suggested Menu (to use up what you cut):
- Three Bean & Sweet Potato Chili
- Scratch-made Apple Sauce or Seasonal Fruit Crumble
No prep. After class, you might choose to turn your cuts into a quick dinner and dessert. Recipes will be provided. Minimal class time will be devoted to the recipes/meal prep and the focus will be on the knife skills. No special ingredients or tools are required.
