Event Overview

Join Chef Harold, as he teaches you the basics of holding and using your sharpest tool in the kitchen: your knife! We will start with the different types of knives, the best use for each and how to use them.
In this class you will learn the basic baton, brunoise and mince; all of which are necessary tools to be a whiz at dinner. Your friends and family will be amazed at your fantastic knife skills.

Through the duration of the class, we will prepare two Thai inspired cold appetizers and two salads to snack on while we are chopping away. These fantastic treats will be great for any spring time get together!

This class is great for beginners or for the more experienced cooks among us. Bring a bottle of wine and a friend to help ease the nerves! Note: This class takes place in an arts studio and not in an actual kitchen.

Loved this class! I really needed to have someone teach me what knives to use and how to use them. Having Howard be so friendly and accommodating gave me the confidence to
learn and practice what was taught. Thumbs way up!!

This class was so much fun! It was located in the back of a great little shop (which didn't help because I had to buy cute things on the way out) and I felt like we got a really good, high level overview on knife basics, as well as learned (and ate!) a few simple recipes. Harold was a really knowledgeable and super-friendly teacher and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon!

Harold was engaging and informative and the class size was just right (about 10). This venue was not ideal - too small, and the work area was uncomfortable. Overall an enjoyable experience, which would have been even better if we had been able to leave with samplings of the food we prepared.
