Class Description
-
Knives: Learn about the different types of knives, the materials they are made of, and which type of knife to use based on what is being prepared.

Knife Skills: It begins with learning to julienne, dicing (many sizes), to deboning. We'll start slow and work through the basics of using knives for dicing, chopping, and more.

Basic Tools: Measuring spoons, cups (dry and liquid), scrapers, spatulas, cutting boards, oh my! The list may seem long, but all the items are important for a successful meal.

Pots & Pans: Not all are alike; some work better on different cooking surfaces. We'll discuss what will work well in your space and identify the minimum required for your beginner needs.

Simple Saute: Using what was diced and chopped, we'll do a simple saute, one that can be modified easily and repeated with different vegetables and proteins.
