We are taking the basic knife skills and techniques and teaching you the fundamentals and realistic approaches of these skills. Chef Shawn will teach you the basics and differences between the varieties available in knives, as well as understanding how to use a steel sharpener, how to hold your knife properly, and then the basic cuts that everyone should know in the kitchen. This is a basic/beginning course but we feel strongly everyone most develop correct cutting methods and an understanding of sauces for success in the kitchen!

Each student will participate in a hands-on knife skills course, and after a in depth discussion and demo of sauce making each student will also make their own sauce!
