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.
