PLEASE NOTE OUR "WINE PAIRINGS" CLASSES ARE A BIT DIFFERENT FROM OUR DEMONSTRATION COOKING CLASSES IN THAT A LOT OF TIME IS SPENT ON THE WINES AND MOST OF THE DISHES ARE PREPARED THEREFORE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ACTUAL COOKING.

HANDS ON BASIC KNIFE SKILLS $40
Saturday, July 28 11:30am - 2:30pm
Vicki McCain, Kitchenique Cooking School Director
If you were going to take only one cooking class in your whole life...this should be the one! In this-hands on class you will learn all about the most important tool in your kitchen, your knife. You’ll learn how knives are made, how they should be handled, maintained and stored and most importantly how each style of knife should be used. You’ll receive hands on instruction on paring, boning, slicing, chopping, dicing and mincing. We’ll have various knives for you to use in class but it's important that you bring from home your 2 favorite knives; preferably a short blade and longer blade knife. We’ll make a Gazpacho and sandwiches out of all your hard work to enjoy.
