Through a combination of demonstration and hands-on experience, our Chef will instruct you in the precise art of cutting, filleting, deboning, carving, selection, handling, sharpening and preservation of knives to give you the professional touch in the kitchen.
This class offers a practical, hands-on experience aimed at developing your cutting skills, while providing essential understanding of how the right cut can improve the flavour and texture of all dishes. You will gain a greater understanding of how to select, use, sharpen and maintain your knives.
This course will cover a variety of cutting techniques and how they are best used to optimize flavour and presentation. From cutting, peeling and dicing vegetables— including the essential techniques of julienne and chiffonnade— to slicing meat, boning a whole chicken, and filleting and skinning a fish, these skills will provide home cooks with a practical and proficient foundation. On completion of this class, you will receive a certificate of attendance.
