Advanced Knife Skills
This experience for anyone who wants to take their kitchen skills and knowledge a little further, covering and building on the basics covered in our Knife Skills events.
As well as learning to handle your chef knife and use it safely and efficiently, this course also covers areas like which chopping boards to use and why, and how to maintain your knives and boards. We also dive into sharpening your own knives using whetstones, so you should never need to buy a new knife again.
Whether you’re a passionate home cook, keen learner or simply tired of struggling with blunt, poorly suited knives, this experience will transform the way you work in the kitchen, and hopefully your enjoyment.
