Hands-On Next Level Knife Skills

Take your knife skills to the next level while learning cooking techniques and preparing delicious recipes! In this technique-focused class, you'll learn how to successfully clean and properly cut challenging fruits and vegetables that you might otherwise shy away from, including: pineapple, sweet potatoes, fennel, tomatoes, segmenting oranges and avocados. Additionally, our chef will demonstrate how to cut a butternut squash and mango during class. You'll sit down at the end of class, and enjoy your handiwork.   
Our Knife Skills class is not a prerequisite, but is recommended. We condense the knife skills lecture portion in this class, so if you would like more information on knives, knife construction, the care and cleaning of knives, and sharpening, enroll in our Knife Skills course prior to taking Next Level Knife Skills.
