The highest quality knife can be rendered useless — and even dangerous — if it’s dull. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to sharpen your knives using traditional Japanese whetstone techniques from Korin's Knife Sharpener, Vincent Kazuhito Lau. Vincent will employ the sharpening method passed down to him from Master Chiharu Sugai and Grand Master Shouzou Mizuyama (one of Japan's top knife sharpeners). We encourage you to bring your own knives to sharpen and receive maintenance tips. At the end of class, you’ll get to touch, feel, and — if you desire — purchase Japanese knives and accessories.

By the latter half of the 19th century, bistros were centers of social life in Paris, catering to great painters, writers, musicians and other artists. The simple, down-to-earth food served at such bistros quickly became as celebrated as the eateries' most famous patrons - and it's still celebrated in Paris and around the world today. You will make traditional dishes of that bygone era, such as: steak tartare; frisée salad with apples, lardons and goat cheese in a warm shallot-bacon vinaigrette; moules frites and haricot verts amandine.
