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.

This class is filled with flavor-packed Korean restaurant dishes to make at home -- whether you have already taken our popular Introduction to Korean class or not (it is not a pre-requisite; just another opportunity to learn more).

• Shrimp and Scallion Pancakes (Panjeon)
• Spicy Braised Tofu (Dubu-Jurim)
• Quick-Pickled Sesame Cucumbers
