If you're around Madison, WI, I highly recommend the knife skills class at Wisconsin Cutlery and Kitchen Supply. They sent out a recent email offering a class on January 14. Husband Jeff and I went to the knife skills class together a couple years ago and totally loved it. Chef Paul Tsang is an awesome teacher and demonstrator, plus he's just funny and entertaining.
Here are the details
Cost: $30 per person, which includes supplies
When: Tuesday, January 14, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Where: 3236 B University Avenue, Madison, WI
RSVP: Call (608) 204-0560 to reserve your place
Whether you're looking for the perfect gift for someone, or want to practice your own skills with the experts in a fun, informal learning environment, this class is it. In addition to learning valuable techniques, which will increase your efficiency and safety in the kitchen, class participants always receive 10% off purchases made during class. Classes are limited to 16 people and always fill up quickly.
If you're interested, call them immediately since the classes do fill up quickly.
If you're not in the Madison area, I recommend looking for a knife skills class anyway. You might see them through your local schools & community recreation department, grocery store, kitchen supply store, specialty food store, cooking school, etc.
