Class Description: 

Proper knife skills are the foundation for all cooking. When someone tells us they want to learn to cook, we immediately suggest that they take our knife skills 101 classes. It’s that important.

If you would like to up your gamein the knife skills area OR add to what you’ve already learned in our Knife Skills 101 class, then this is the class for you! This is a full “hands-on” limited-enrollment class under the supervision of an experienced culinary instructor.

You will learn to use a boning knife and a paring knife as Chef Richard McPeake teaches you the skillful and professional way of fabricating a whole chicken. You will each follow his lead and fabricate a whole chicken yourselves!  We’ll produce Chicken Breast Supremes, Chicken Tenders and Semi-Boneless Chicken Thighs and Legs. 

You’ll also learn the art of ‘roll cutting’ and ‘tourney’, a classic fresh vegetable cut that many chefs still attempt to perfect!  Types of knives and their uses will be taught in addition to uses, sharpening, storage and more.  

So, what to do with all this chicken and vegetables you’ve masterfully cut during class, you say? Well, it would make sense that you would also learn how to make a proper chicken stock, now wouldn’t it? So, we’ll do that too, plus a classic Pepper Pot with Chicken Soup recipe!
