Knife Skills

Knife Skills - Sunday July 11th!

Using knives properly is one of the most important parts of the culinary arts, and we've had many, many requests to create a class on improving knife skills. This specially priced class will be in a different format from the rest of our classes.

Bill Peterson - Wisconsin Cutlery

For the first half of the class, Mr. Bill Peterson from Wisconsin Cutlery will be joining us, and he'll teach you everything you need to know about selecting and caring for your knives. You'll learn the right way to use a steel and a whetstone to keep your knives in perfect cutting condition. He'll be bringing a variety of great knives with him for you to review.

Bring up to three of your favorite knives from home, and he'll professionally sharpen them for you for no additional charge.

During the second half of the class, Chef Dave will be teaching you all about how to use your knives in the best way possible to make you safe, efficient, and accurate in all of your kitchen cutting tasks. Cutting things properly makes an enormous difference in the way your dishes appear and taste, and makes it a lot more fun to prepare foods.

You'll practice your own knife skills under the direction of Chef Dave, using your own (now beautifully sharpened) knives.

This is a specially priced class - just $10 per person. Food will not be served for this special, shorter class.

Just call ahead so we know how many to expect! Class will run from 3:00PM to 4:30PM.
