Whether you cook every day or just occasionally, great knife skills are a time (and finger) saver in the kitchen.
In this part demonstration, mostly hands-on workshop, you learn essential knife skills to enhance your cooking experience, starting with choosing the right tools, setting up your prep station, and properly holding your knife.
You'll practice at least 10 French cuts and techniques, including how to dice an onion into perfectly even cubes in under 60 seconds!
Some of the cuts you will learn:
- Dice
- Slice
- Mince
- Roll cut
- Julienne
- Brunoise/fine brunoise
- Bias
- Supréme
- Chiffonade
- Rondelles
- Parisiennes
We will define these terms and discuss the best applications for fancy cuts, and instruction will be tailored to your individual level. With your newly honed advanced techniques, you will impress your dining companions and elevate both presentation and texture while becoming more efficient.
By the end of the class, you'll leave with new knowledge, techniques, and recipes to continue your culinary journey at home.
