Knife Skills and Cooking Techniques

This one day course is designed to make you feel more confident about your knife skills. You will be taught how to use and sharpen knives and which is the correct knife for which job.

Joint a Chicken
Coq au Vin
Burmese Chicken Salad
Fillet a Round Fish
Chargrilled Trout with Salsa Verde
