Your knife is the most useful tool in your kitchen! Knife cutting is a lifelong skill, and cutting correctly will save you time, save you from accidents, and make the whole experience of cooking more enjoyable! These knife skills, and the techniques you learn,  will add ease to your prep time. Learn cutting skills and the importance of selecting and caring for your knife as you learn to handle your knife with confidence and accuracy. Megan will demonstrate and guide you through the proper technique to chop, dice, and mince - all cuts that are utilized every day, and especially in professional commercial kitchens. 

There will be demonstrations and plenty of time for practice! As an added bonus, you will know what chiffonade, brunoise, julienne, and other knife cut names mean, and why they are used, when you are reading menus! You will go home with an array of cut vegetables prepared during class. 


You may bring your favorite kitchen knife to class, or loaner knives will be available for anyone who doesn’t have or want to bring their own.

Please wear long pants, closed-toed shoes, and bring your favorite apron if you’d like!
