Knife Skills Class

Learn some essential kitchen techniques at this knife skills workshop in Gloucestershire.



3 hours Class size 5 to 20 guests       £70

If you're a budding chef looking to improve your skills, this class is a brilliant place to start. When following a recipe you have a list of ingredients, but the preparation of the ingredients is just as important as cooking. In this class, you will learn the essentials of preparation using a knife.
Under the tutelage of a knowledgeable chef, you'll learn the best way to use a variety of knives, how to choose knives for your own use and how to take care of them to maximise their lifespan and effectiveness.
During the class you'll cover:
  • Different kitchen knives and their uses.
  • Choosing the right knife for you including filleting knives.
  • How to look after your knives and how to use a knife safely.
  • Cutting skills, fish filleting and techniques for slicing, chopping, dicing, and julienne.
The tutor will demonstrate how to joint a chicken, and you'll use hands-on learning to pick up the essential skills for filleting a fish. You will practice your techniques by preparing ingredients to take home, with a recipe, to create a meal – this will include the fish you filleted during the class. You'll leave the class eager to try out all the new skills you've learned, and filled with knowledge and confidence that'll serve you well in the future.
What you'll get
Tools to prepare ingredients to take away and make a meal at home.

  • 4/5 from Kate, attended Oct 2023: Our teacher was very informative and had an easy, warm manner. I wondered whether just the basics would be covered, but the session was comprehensive and I learned a lot about different knives, their uses and how to care for them. The venue is great and the materials supplied were very good, especially the delicious chickens and the wide range of fresh vegetables of varying shapes and sizes for us to practice on! I have definitely been able to improve both my knife sharpening skills (and upped the frequency with which I do this!) as well as my cutting technique. The printer was not working on the day, so I am looking forward to getting the notes and recipes by email.
