Kitchen Basics Class

Our popular hands-on knife skills class gives every student the opportunity to practice new skills as the class progresses. Have you ever wondered how the chefs on TV and at restaurants chop and slice so quickly and easily? The keys are proper technique and lots of practice! Learn what every home cook should know about chopping, slicing, dicing, and julienne. You will also learn the proper way to hold your knife, and how to maintain your knife with a honing rod to keep it sharper longer. This class always fills up fast so don't miss it!

PLEASE NOTE: Knives are provided for use during this class. You are welcome to bring your own knife as well if you wish, but we promise ours will be sharper! Please also bring an apron if you wish to wear one.

**Class attendees will receive a special $15 discount card towards their choice of Wüsthof German-made cutlery.

If you've been wanting to try your hand at Homemade Pasta, this is a great place to start! Chef Amy will guide you through the process of making pasta dough, both by hand and using a food processor. Then, we'll use the doughs to create a machine-cut Fettucini, and a basic Ravioli with Ricotta Filling. Meanwhile, we'll put together three sauces: a simple and flavorful Vodka Tomato Sauce; a Winter Greens Pesto; and a tasty Lemony Alfredo Sauce. Buon appetito!

Dietary/allergen info: This class is vegetarian, but does contain dairy in every sauce. There are walnuts in the pesto.
