🔪 Slice & Sizzle: Knife Skills

Service Description

🥛Dairy-Free In this interactive class, Young Chefs will gain confidence in the kitchen by learning essential Knife Skills and using them to create a colorful, fresh veggie stir-fry. We’ll begin with safety basics — how to hold a knife, proper cutting stance, and the “bear claw” grip to protect fingers. Then, students will practice slicing, dicing, and julienning a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, and green onions. Once our veggies are prepped, we’ll head to the stove to cook a simple, flavorful stir-fry sauce and combine everything into a sizzling dish. Along the way, students will learn about timing, texture, and seasoning to make their stir-fry shine.
