About the Class
This is the first of a twelve part series to teach what we like to call "cooking school light"; a fun & comprehensive training in all the savory techniques, without having to quit your job & spend thousands of dollars. We start your training with the most quintessential skills in the kitchen with your most important tools, your knives. We’ll explore the physics of the knife & cutting techniques such as slice, julienne, mince & dice & chopping, demystify sharpening & honing, choosing the right equipment, & how to keep your fingers cut-free forever. Learn about cutting surfaces, setting up a work station, proper prep procedures, keeping food fresh & safe & the basics of kitchen safety & lingo. Get ready to become the best home chef you can be!
