My Knife Skills class should be called Skills. Sure knife skills are the basis, but there is way more than just cutting in this class. Still two people managed to cut themselves on their first attempt to use the sharpening steel. I've remained injury free to date.
We're provided the final exam on the first day and there is a five-day practical exam at the end. Only the first day of the practical is knife skills. Check out this line up...
Day 1: 17 knife cuts and 4 mother sauces
Day 2: Sauteed Supreme of Chicken w/Fine Herb Sauce, Grilled New York Strip w/Bearnaise Sauce, Puree of Lentil Soup, Rice Pilaf
Day 3: Chicken Fricassee, Chicken Broth with Vegetables and House-Made Egg Noodles
Day 4: Roasted Chicken w/Pan Gravy, Cream of Broccoli Soup, White Bean Ragout
Day 5: Poached Fillet of Sole w/Vegetable Julianne and Vin Blanc Sauce, Chicken Consumme, Duchesse Potatoes
Day 6: Written Exam, Kitchen CleanUp- Done for the Quarter! Bwoop!!
