Join us for Culinary Boot Camp and learn the practical skills that will make you a better home cook.

Culinary Boot Camp is designed to provide basic kitchen/culinary skills for the novice cook and to further assist with the development of practical survival kitchen skills. Boot camp is completely hands on in the kitchen!

This course will develop basic knife skills, fundamental cooking techniques for meat, poultry, vegetables, and grains. Learn how to cook at the proper temperature, using the right tool for the right job and how to organize yourself in your own kitchen. .

The sessions will begin with a focus on knife skills, and culinary terminology related to the session menu items.

This is a six-week-Saturday session. Each session will build on the next.

Each week will focus on knife skills, and an introduction to stocks and sauces.
