Ready to take your knife skills from simple to razor-sharp? Hone your talents with the ultimate class in safe and speedy knife know-how! Get to grips with the basics of kitchen knives, then break down a whole chicken and use it to rustle up two delicious dishes. You’ll also chop, slice and dice your way to perfectly prepped veg and beautifully filleted fish, enjoying some tasty dishes along the way. Over to you, chef!In the afternoon, we’ll dive into fish. Our chefs will begin by demonstrating how to prepare and fillet both round and flat fish from scratch. You’ll then have the opportunity to fillet a flat fish, before frying it to perfection with a gorgeous caper and lemon sauce. Finally, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labour at the chef’s table, with rustic bread, fresh salad, and a well-deserved glass of wine.
