Knife Skills
Knives are the most vital tool in the kitchen and using them correctly can make the difference between being an ok cook and a really good cook. Yet how many of us know which knife will suit and how to look after it, let alone how to begin to slice and dice like those bods on the TV. During your day with us we will show you what to look for when purchasing a knife as well as how to care for it. You will learn which knives to use for which task and we will demonstrate a number of options for caring and sharpening your knives. During the practical session you will dice, slice and chiffonade your way through a range of vegetables, herbs and fruits. The tutor will be on hand to help you correct your technique.
The items prepared will be turned into a delicious lunch by our staff for you to share together before the completion of the course. All recipes cooked will be incorporated into the course pack.
