Has anyone taken a knife class?

I think it would be great to show and share some skills from one at a meeting.

What a great idea! And we could use our education benefit to pay for it!

You can find a lot of good tips, step by step instructions and videos on foodnetwork.com.

You might check with a local gourmet shop. I stopped in one close to my house for the first time one day. I couldn't see inside the store because the sun was reflecting off the windows. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into the middle of a chef demo. The ENTIRE store (it was VERY small) was full of folding chairs. There were about 15 people looking at me. I was SO embarrassed! I started to leave but they all said "oh come on in, you're fine". Yeah right! I literally had to climb over people's legs to get in the door. I was just going to look around but with all those people in there I pretended to be very seriously looking and picked something up to buy. I don't remember what it was but I knew I couldn't leave without getting something!

They offered alot of different classes each month. A shop like that might be a good place to ask. They might offer one or they might know where to send you.

I have a consultant who runs a restaurant at a local performing arts center. She did a training on knife skills this past spring. Unfortunately, when the weather is bad, my attendance drops dramatically and the night she did it, it snowed! In any case, those who came (2 others) really learned a lot from her.
