Everything you ever need to know about choosing, storing, sharpening, holding, and using the most important tool in the kitchen. We will have 8-inch chef's knives for you to practice on, but you are also welcome to bring your own knife. 

• Included in the price is a * knife sharpening stone of your own *, which we will teach you how to use flawlessly before you leave. 
• And so you have something to cook (and eat!) with all your expertly chopped ingredients, we'll also make a meal to share at the end of class, usually a minestrone soup or a vegetable stir-fry.

Since cooking is always preceded by grocery shopping, this is where your culinary education must begin.

This valuable food education + grocery shopping class -- led by HCNY founder Jennifer Clair -- is designed to help home cooks make the best food choices in the grocery store, from the produce to the freezer aisle and everything in between.

You'll explore the meaning behind keywords like local, organic, grass-fed, pastured, GMO-free, certified humane, wild, low-fat, and extra-virgin to uncover the true story behind the foods we eat.
