Class Description:
Proper knife skills are the foundation for all cooking. When someone tells us they want to learn to cook, we immediately suggest that they take a couple of basic Knife Skills classes. It’s that important. If you would like to up your game in the knife skills area OR add to what you already know, then this is the class for you! (NOTE: There is no pre-req. required for this class.)
 
First we'll explore the proper way to use three popular knives, the paring knife, the chef's knife and the boning knife as well as the skill of perfecting roll cutting and tournée, a classic fresh vegetable cut that many chefs still attempt to perfect.   Exec. Chef Richard McPeake will teach you the skillful and professional way of fabricating a whole chicken as you use these important knives and techniques. We’ll produce Chicken Breast Supremes, Chicken Tenders, Semi-Boneless Chicken Thighs and Legs.  
 
In addition, we’ll discuss knife uses, sharpening, storage and other important information. This is a full “hands-on” class under the supervision and tutelage of one of the best, Chef Richard McPeake.  

So, what to do with all this chicken and vegetables you’ve masterfully cut during class, you say? Well, it would make sense that you would also learn how to make a proper chicken stock, now wouldn’t it? So, we’ll do that and we'll use the stock to make a Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup too!   (You may bring your own boning knife/knives to class, or you may use ours.)
