Cooking Classes- Technique focused/Knife skills

[Anonymous]

Do you know of anywhere in the DMV (preferably DC or close-in) that is doing in-person cooking classes focusing on technique? I consider myself a good cook, but I think I'd benefit from a knife skills class for starters, but then maybe some other technique focused classes for things I find more challenging or could help my cooking game overall. Culinaerie in Logan Circle used to offer these, but they've been closed since early pandemic. I'm not looking for a "Date Night" kind of thing learning to prepare one meal. Thanks!

I am not sure where in the DMV you are, but I would check community colleges that have a culinary arts program - sometimes during the summer they have skills classes in their continuing ed section for adults. I am in Frederick County and I know the FCC does pastry, bread, knife, and a few other classes during the summer and winter breaks while the traditional students are out of session.

You could also try a private lesson - I did a private knife skills class as part of an Epitourean vacation (coastal Maine) about ten years ago and it was the best part of the vacation.

Sur La Table has great cooking classes, including one on just knife skills.
