Knife Skills with Chef Maggie Pond

Join us for a lively, hands-on class all about the most essential tool in the kitchen: the knife! You’ll learn practical techniques to build confidence with every cut — slicing, dicing, mincing, chopping, julienne, and even the oblique cut. We’ll also cover how to keep your knives sharp, the differences between honing and sharpening, how to choose the right knife for your needs, and which cutting boards work best.

Menu: A selection of Spanish embutidos y quesos with bread will be prepared by the chef. 

Gluten-free options will be available. During the class, participants will learn to prepare and practice:

• Classic Vegetable Stock

• Hearty Chicken & Vegetable Soup (with vegetarian option available)

• Knife Skills Practice: Mastering Essential Cuts
