I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn proper technique using knives and the many different types and ways of cutting vegetables. Chef Jennifer was knowledgeable and answered any and all our questions. I learned a lot more than I thought I would from one lesson. Everyone enjoyed the soup I made! Looking forward to taking many more classes!!
