Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this knife skills class:

In this course, you will learn knife skills for the home chef. From the basics of how to dice an onion to classic French knife cuts, this course will teach you to be more precise and faster in all of your home cooking. Attendees are encouraged to follow along and ask questions. No kitchen experience required!

Class will begin with an introduction to the anatomy of a knife and proper knife handling techniques. You will then go into a variety of knife cuts including dice, julienne, brunoise, and a few more uncommon cuts. Throughout the course you'll learn how to organize your work space as well as various applications for the cuts we are performing.

About the Instructor:

I am a line cook at a Michelin starred restaurant and a graduate from a top culinary school in the US. I have worked my way up in a professional kitchen from prep to the line and know the techniques new cooks need to succeed. I am also an avid home cook and love exploring new cuisines and techniques!

Materials Needed to Participate Fully:

  • A chef knife, or the knife you use most at home and are most comfortable with

  • Vegetable peeler

  • Cutting board

  • 1 Onion

  • 1 Potato

  • 1 Large carrot

  • 1 Bunch of scallions


Virtual Class FAQ


What will be included in my Virtual Class package?

One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.

How many people is my purchase good for?

Each ticket is good for one "device" (i.e. one computer, phone, tablet, etc. you'll be logging in from). This ensures we don't get more people in the class than the instructor can handle. Though we understand some people live together and will be working/learning together, the intent is that each class still allows for the same attention to attendees as if students purchased separately. Please be respectful of this!

Will I need anything from home to use in the class?

You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.

Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?

Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.


Do I have to show my video or speak during class?

While we recommend you do show your video and speak when encouraged to by the instructor, video and audio participation are never mandatory. We find classes have more fun experiences when people are engaging with one another, but understand not everyone will want to do so and that's ok!

Refund Policy

Students may cancel any time 48 hours or more before the class to receive a refund. Students canceling less than 48 hours before a class will receive a full credit towards rescheduling or purchasing a different class.

    The instructor was very well organized and knowledgeable. The only thing I would have changed the camera should have been closer to where he was cutting the vegetable I did pick up some new strategies using a knife

    Dash was an excellent instructor and the class was really great. Dash walked us through the different types of knives & cutting techniques, as well as knife safety. He was extremely personable and answered every question knowledgeably. Even though it was a virtual class it was very easy to see what he was doing and his work space because of his camera set up. I loved that he gave us a few ideas on how to use the different vegetables that we just cut up for class. I would definitely be interested in taking additional classes in the future.

    Enjoyed this class. Wish he would do more with classes with using all kinds of kitchen knives. There are so many different kinds. I would sure like to understand how to use all of them.

    It was exactly what I was looking for. The instructor was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed it very much. My only problem was my inexperience with Zoom. I couldn't seem to enlarge his picture which made it difficult to see his knife cuts clearly. this is not a criticism of the class or teacher. I will definitely do some research on Zoom before I sign up for another class.

    Dash's class was awesome. Who knew there were so many different ways to cut an onion? Or an easier way to julienne carrots? He made learning fun and interactive. Time well spent!
