Knife Sharpening (short course)
Over many years of teaching cooking (in both Great Britain and Australia), we noticed that many of our students own knives (some are top brand and even full set of knives) at home. However many of our students do not know how to take good care of their good knives, most students even do not know how to keep their knives sharp.In this knowledge packed short course, our head teacher Laurent will teach students how to sharpen knives with sharpening steels.
Each students will have opportunities to practice individually on knife sharpening skills and techniques. Because this course is running in small number (maximum of 4 students), each student will have plenty of attention from the teacher.
All knives and sharpening steels used in the class are provided. No need to bring your own.
During each class, there will be a short cooking demonstration on making and baking popular small French cake - Madeleine of Commercy. Recipes will be given as part of the course.
