KNIFE SKILLS CLASS
DATE: Thursday, September 10th, 2026

WHERE: The Knife Stop on the 2nd floor of Kerrytown Market & Shops

Learn the basics of knife skills in this interactive class with 4 other students.
The Chef knife is arguably the most important tool in the kitchen and knowing how to use it efficiently and safely will add another level of enjoyment and confidence to your cooking skills. Even sizes of cuts are important when you want the ingredients in a recipe to cook at the same rate, as well as affecting the texture, taste, and balance of foods.
For this class, join our knife specialist, Bill, as he guides you through the basics of slicing, dicing, chopping and cutting the ingredients for a fresh and flavorful Pico de Gallo!
Please note our general policies below before signing up for a class.

Food Allergy / Dietary Restriction Policy:If you have any dietary restrictions, please ask if they can be accommodated before registering for a class. We cannot guarantee that chefs will be able to make last-minute changes or cook separate portions for special needs.
-
10% Discount - Each student receives a 10% discount to use on the day/evening of your class. You are encouraged to scout earlier in the day if you need several things so that you don’t run out of time on break as we don’t want classes to run late into the evening. May not apply to sale items, and some brand exclusions may apply due to vendor agreements. If it’s a children’s class, the parents may use the 10% discount on the day of class!
