Chicks with Knives will teach an intensive hands-on knife skills class at Surfas in Culver City. Guests are asked to please bring your own chef's knife. Handling a knife with dexterity and skill is the most basic building block of cooking, giving you greater consistency and confidence in the kitchen. The class starts with a quick lesson on proper posture (positioning your body, grasping the knife and holding food that's being chopped) and then moves on to slicing and dicing. You'll start with basic vegetable cuts, progress to julienne, chiffonade and other advanced skills. Instruction on knife identification, sharpening and care will also be discussed. While you slice and dice, the Chicks will prepare an early dinner of flank steak & roasted vegetable sandwiches on focaccia, marinated cucumber salad, and creme fraiche mashed potatoes. You'll also go home with a Chicks with Knives gift bag and a Surfas discount coupon for shopping on the day of the class. Reserve your seat on Eventbee.
