    Abigail was so kind - she was very detailed with what a practical home cook actually needs. Felt like a great use of time and can't wait to take more classes!

    I learned a lot. After I’m not sure how many years of cooking, I finally know the right way to hold a knife and how to approach many ordinary tasks. The women who ran the class were knowledgeable, engaging and covered lots of ground. I have since shared many tips from the class with friends. They are eager to take the course as well. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon!

    The knife techniques were helpful, and it was great to learn about honing. I also appreciated the insights on non-Western knives. Class size was small, as promised, but there was another class going on concurrently. It was quite noisy.

    Comfortable, casual atmosphere which made everyone feel relaxed. The hands-on learning was terrific. It was a lovely group of students, too, and fun to share the meal we prepared. Definitely learned a few new tricks!

    The class was great! Abigail was a lovely teacher who taught the basics on knife use/selection and we did some great exercises to learn some slicing and dicing basics. It's a great kick off lesson!

    Informative but casual. The owner and instructor were both friendly and patient. Having a small class was very nice. Techniques learned are very useful for day to day cooking. Having a delicious light lunch and dessert as fruit of our labor was such a treat.

    Was a good class, would have liked if it was knife skills to slice fish or meat as well and not just veggies. Ran overtime, would have liked if it stuck to the timeline

    This class was great. Perfect class size, Chef Abby was very knowledgeable and she made you feel very comfortable with using a very sharp knife. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that would like to learn how to slice and dice with the best of them.
