About

Class canceled on 3/4.

Join chef and teacher Meloni Courtway in this knife skills class. Working online from her kitchen, Meloni guides you through setting a strong foundation for learning new and more complicated knife cuts in the comfort of your own kitchen. We will review  knife care and the different types of kitchen knives available. 

To start you’ll get to “know your knife”, mastering your grip for cutting, and knowing what to do with your guiding hand. We will review a series of different cuts and techniques including  squaring off vegetables, fine julienne, chiffonade, and small dice brunoise cuts.   

This is a live, hands-on class held in your kitchen via Zoom. This class is meant to be as interactive as it would be in the BARN Kitchen.
