In this course for cooks looking to improve their technique, Darin Gagner, founder of Valley Sharp knife sharpening, will teach the fundamentals of knife skills: safety, mechanics, maintenance, and classic cuts. You’ll make chicken pozole rojo, charred jalapeno pico de gallo, spicy potato and wilted greens tacos; while learning techniques that you can apply to any type of cooking. Please bring your favorite chef’s knife from home for this hands-on class.
