Knife Skills: Slicing Through the Basics

Classroom

Solid knife skills are the foundation for speed in the kitchen. They can be the mortar for the house you call "dinner at my place." With a little dose of confidence, a pinch of good form and a sharp knife, making dinner won't take you three hours!

Through this hands-on class at the newly opened West Elm Market in Dumbo, Brooklyn you will feel at ease yeilding a knife through a head of cabbage. You will no longer wrestle with a butternut squash or loathe slicing an onion. You will mince madly, dice with dignity, and learn to make matchsticks. You will also:

Get tips on purchasing a proper knife.
Learn to use a sharpening stone to sharpen a knife.
Understand which knife to use for the right job.
Receive one-on-one support on form and technique.
Eat a delicious vegetarian dish prepped by you!
Take home a packet of instructions and tips covered in class plus extras to support you further.

So stop spending hours making dinner and don't go through another box of Bandaids. Get over the fears, have your questions answered, and start building solid knife skills for years to come.

Please view the syllabus for how to prepare for class!
