Hands-On Knife Skills
The class was great! Learned a lot of skills that I’m looking forward to trying at home. -
Hands-On Knife Skills
I really appreciate the quality and detailed knowledge. Hands-on is always better, and that is what I received. Watching videos online is fine, but it is nothing like an instructor correcting your form and technique in person. If you want to make sure you have your technique done correctly, then I recommend this class. The chefs were very helpful. You can take your chopped veggies home, and they offer student discounts if you want to purchase kitchen items. A bench scraper is a lifesaver while working in your kitchen, too. -
Hands-On Knife Skills
Great course, great instructors. Very informative and very fun. -
Hands-On Knife Skills

Hands-On Knife Skills
It was a very useful, practical, fun, and informational class. I loved learning a broad overview of different knives commonly found in a home kitchen.

Hands-On Knife Skills
The Knife Skills class was great! The instructor was helpful and personable; his instruction was clear, precise, and based on professional expertise. Good pace. Hands-on. Lots of practice during the class. My husband and I left the class with improved knife skills, baggies full of chopped veggies to be used in a provided recipe, and all 20 of our fingers! -

Hands-On Knife Skills
The Chopping Block did not disappoint. The expert chefs (Pete and Maggie) were informative, engaging and had fun with the class. All while we learned valuable information that can be applied to our time in the kitchen. My daughter and I enjoyed our Knife Skills class and we are looking forward to scheduling another, different class to continue the fun and learning! Thank you. -
Hands-On Knife Skills
This was my third class at The Chopping Block and Lisa was the best instructor I’ve had yet, knowledgeable, funny and patient, demonstrating something repeatedly (in my instance, how to cut the foot and planks out of carrots) if it helps you comprehend a concept. But while Lisa is a very good teacher, every instructor and staff person I’ve so far encountered at this school has been exceptionally polite and goes out of their way to be helpful. I highly recommend taking a class here. -

Plus, you learn about what to look for in purchasing knives so you avoid getting ripped off. -
Basic Knife Skills: Meal Prep Made Easy
My son (15) and I had a great time at this class. He can’t believe how much easier it is to help in the kitchen now that he knows the proper way to chop all of the basic veggies and fruits. I am so glad that he can be on prep duty now! -

Hands-On Knife Skills
This class was awesome! I really enjoyed learning more about knives (like which ones to purchase) and also hear more about how to cut. No idea you were supposed to turn your body sideways. I would really recommend this class - you also get to take home whatever we cut up so it makes for a good stir fry! -

Hands-On Knife Skills
The instructor was excellent! She was very organized and detailed. She presented the information in a logical way and paced the class so that all could keep up but we were still able to accomplish all we set out to do. There was a second instructor who would float around and help us as well. We learned why chefs use certain knives for certain tasks and the types of basic chef's cuts for food. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone, as well as recommend taking other classes at the Chopping Block. -
