Learning how to handle sharp knives is part of confidence in the kitchen.
This class goes through the basic knife set, how to look after knives and how to use knives efficiently
We cover all the classic knife techniques for vegetables and fruits as well as fresh herbs. Not only does this instil confidence, but we aim to encourages young cooks to understand why whole ingredients are more cost efficient than prepared cuts, and why cooking from scratch ensures healthy eating.
Parents dropping off or picking up are welcome to realax in our café and Bistro, which offers a glimpse of the action, as well as delicious home made pastries and lunch dishes.
Dishes will be sampled in class and some may be offered to bring home.
We are found at the very end of Purbeck Road (off Hills Rd by the sixth form centre) where you turn left by Abbey college and then carry straight on for about 100m to the white awnings you will see ahead where there are some parking spaces.
