Knife Skills Class - Multi-Cut Pineapple & Chicken Stir Fry
If you’ve ever wondered why chefs cut ingredients differently—or wanted your cooking to look, feel, and taste more professional—this class is for you. In this immersive, hands-on knife skills workshop, you’ll learn how precise cuts affect cooking time, texture, and flavor, then put those skills to work in a fast, flavorful stir fry.
We’ll start with knife safety, grip, and technique before moving through real-world prep: breaking down a bone-in chicken breast with a boning knife, mastering classic vegetable cuts, and tackling pineapple with three different knives. Along the way, you’ll practice push cuts, rock chops, bias slicing, julienne, bâtonnet, dice, and mince—learning not just how to cut, but why each cut matters.
The class culminates in a wok-fired pineapple–chicken stir fry, where you’ll organize your mise en place by cooking time, control heat to avoid steaming, and layer textures for a balanced, restaurant-style dish. You’ll leave with sharper knife skills, better kitchen confidence, and a clear understanding of how technique translates directly to better food.
What You’ll Learn
Proper knife grip, safety, and cutting board setup
How to use chef, paring, boning, and bread knives with purpose
Classic cuts for meat, vegetables, fruit, and aromatics (with measurements)
How cut size affects cooking time and texture
Mise en place organization and stir-fry timing

What You’ll Make

Perfect for home cooks who want stronger fundamentals, cleaner cuts, and food that cooks more evenly and tastes better because of it. No prior knife skills required—just curiosity and a willingness to chop. 🔪🍍🍗
At the end of class, we’ll all enjoy the fruits of our labors, followed by a FABulous Surprise Dessert!
As this is a Chef Class you are welcome to BYOB (please drink responsibly) so this is Perfect for Date Night, a fun Friend’s Night Out.
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
