Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking, and doesn't have to be scary or frustrating. Many home and even professional cooks don't always wield a knife correctly, which increases food preparation time and makes the process harder and less safe than it should be. In this indispensable class, you and your partner will learn how to slice, dice and chop in the safest and most efficient manner as you prepare a menu of: plantain chips with mango-jalapeño salsa; guacamole with tortilla chips; and sangria.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
