Join Kathryn Joel as we work with chefs’ knives and and paring knives during this Introductory Knife Skills class. If you choose to use our knives you’ll be using 8-inch Henckel chefs’ knives, but we invite you to bring your own knives along if you’d prefer. During your class, we’ll be focusing on the following basic skills: slicing and chopping onions and shallots; puréeing garlic; tomato concassé; chiffonade of leafy herbs; how to dice, slice and julienne vegetables; peeling round fruits; and segmenting citrus fruits. And as if all of that is not enough, while you’re busy chopping and slicing, we’ll also be whipping up a hearty slice of Bruschetta, a Chopped Middle Eastern Salad and a satifsfying bowl of French Onion Soup to enjoy before we send you home, armed with the knowledge and skills required to wield your knives with greater confidence and finesse on your own. NOTE: ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED TO JUST 8 PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS 100% HANDSON CLASS. WE USE BEEF STOCK IN THE ONION SOUP BUT IT CAN BE ADAPTED FOR VEGETARIANS WITH ADVANCE NOTICE.

Ring in the new year with Chef Owner Kathryn Joel and learn to make a decadently elegant celebratory meal. We’ll start with Oysters Rockefeller, baked on the half shell with a rich and herbaceous spinach topping, followed by a sumptuous wild mushroom risotto. For the main course, you’ll learn to French trim and roast a herb-crusted rack of lamb, served with a red wine demi-glace, smashed celeriac and seasonal sides. Next comes a cheese course with homemade crackers, and we’ll finish in style with light and airy Grand Marnier soufflés, served with a crème anglaise. It’s a delicious way to spend New Year’s Eve and welcome the year ahead.
Learn to make four classic Italian pasta sauces from scratch. We’ll make Sicily’s pasta con sarde with bucatini, toss spaghetti with savoy cabbage, crispy pancetta and Calabrian chilis, and combine orecchiette with pancetta and broccoli. We’ll also make a rich, slow-cooked Italian sausage sauce served with penne. You’ll learn how to cook pasta perfectly and use the starchy cooking water to finish each sauce, giving you four delicious dishes to add to your home cooking repertoire.
