Learning to use each knife confidently and accurately takes a great deal of practice.
The first lesson in a cook's training is to learn to select, handle and maintain knives. Each knife has a specific purpose for which it is best suited.
In this class you will learn which knife to use - and how to use it - as you butterfly a leg of lamb and create a charred harissa lamb dish. You’ll also bone and stuff a ballotine of chicken and master the art of creating porchetta from a pork belly.
You’ll go home with a new set of skills and plenty of prepared joints of meat to share.
