40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will learn by watching. (Students who are interested in private lessons in knife skills may contact me after the initial class.) This 40-minute class (really a little more for interested learners) is packed with information including:the anatomy of the knife, differences between types of knives, care of knives, cutting board selection, knife grip, what the helping hand is doing, chopping, dicing (1/2", 1/4", slicing, as well as roll-chopping, and the how to handle difficult shapes and textures of vegetables. During the lesson, students will see me as one participant on the screen, and see my hands breaking down our ingredients as another participant on the screen. So, please go to grid view. I encourage questions and comments. This is a class to learn and ask questions while you watch a live demonstration. Learners are not required to handle knives during this course - I will demonstrate and answer any questions and comments.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the proper way to hold a knife while slicing and dicing their way into delicious and easy to prepare foods.
Most importantly students will learn that preparing food doesn't have to be scary or tedious.
Other Details

There is not a material list. Students watch and learn and are encourage to ask questions during the class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
I love to cook. I especially love all the prep work of cooking. Over the years I have been hired by friends and co-workers to be their personal chef, to organize and supply party caterings, and I am flattered when what I have cooked gets all eaten up. Confidence with knife skills is the key to having fun cooking. Without the right skills the prep work is drudgery. I'd like to help young people gain the right skills so they can come to enjoy (safely) cooking for themselves and others.
