Do you know your julienne from your chiffonade? In this class Chef Evan (culinary lecturer at Le Cordon Bleu) will teach you to chop with the confidence and precision of a pro. Evan will demo how to sharpen and care for your knives. We will also cover knife selection and give advice on the best places to pick up good quality knives that will last you a lifetime. Feel free to bring along your own knife so you can practice like you would at home!
What to expect on the day:
Just like in culinary school, you will begin by learning different chopping techniques with raw vegetables. Then, Chef Evan will move on to demonstrate how to best cut and prepare various cuts of game. Using your new-found skills you will prep and cook a delicious meal and enjoy it with the Chef.
