Join us at the Educated Cooking Kitchen with chef/owner Eleanor Watkins and learn how to jullienne, brunoise, and cut food to be elegant and make delicious dishes along the way. Proper knife skills will speed up your cooking and make your food look amazing.
Any chef, including myself, will tell you our knife is an extension of our hand. My knife has been with me for 10 years and always feels like my familiar friend in the kitchen. If a sharp chef’s knife makes you feel a little uncomfortable, then this class is for you. This class will teach you that the sharper the knife, the safer your chopping will be. I will briefly go through different types of knifes and their uses, how to take care of your knives, and then practice slicing and dicing.
Techniques you will learn:
How to large dice, small dice, julienne, and brunoise onions
Oblique cuts
Julienne various vegetables
Chiffonade basil
Roll chop herbs
Small dice steak
Dishes you will make and eat:
Raw steak tartare or tomato tartare
Vegetable spring rolls with satay sauce
Seasonal vegetable soup topped with basil pistou

Eleanor had a lot of knowledge that she was more than happy to share. It was amazing to get to work with someone who has worked in professional kitchens as a chef as well as developing food for really interesting brands. As someone who cooks a lot knife skills are so valuable for everyday cooking and the food we made together was fantastic. I'll definitely be taking home lots of tips, recipe ideas, and a really fun experience. Also- what an amazing kitchen. The learning kitchen Eleanor has set up us fantastic, definitely felt like being at cookery school.

Eleanor held an interesting and fun pasta and gnocchi making event. Having first assessed our relative skill levels, we got involved in a variety of tasks. Overall, we made three complete dishes. What we were not able to eat at the event, the family at home thoroughly enjoyed later.
