Join chef and teacher Meloni Courtway for a knife skills class. Working online from her kitchen, Meloni will guide you through this skills class. We will set a strong foundation for learning new and more complicated knife cuts from the comfort of your own kitchen.

We will review  knife care and different types of knives available. The cutting portion will  begin with getting to know your knife, mastering your grip, 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.
