Start Choppin'

Where to Improve Your Knife Skills

Looking to master your blade this Cinco de Mayo? Martha Rose Shulman and Clifford A. Wright are holding a hands-on “Knife Skills” class next Wednesday at their Venice Cooking School, limited to just twelve students at $75 a head. The noted authors will cover the basics of slicing, dicing, and chopping while butterflying steak and preparing Pissaladière pizza, Basque piperade, and two Italian beef cuts. If going from batonnet to brunoise in a day sounds like your bag, reservations are still available online. [Venice Cooking School]
