Knife Skills the Roux Way

Devised by the revered chef Michel Roux Jr and taught by one of his in-house chefs, this half day knife skills class covers techniques and how to chop safely and efficiently to get the best from fruit and vegetables. Arrive at Michel Roux Jr's Cookery School for tea, coffee and pastries while the experienced in-house chef talks about the content of the class. Concentrating on two vital knives - a cook's knife and a paring knife, learn how to sharpen and practise a range of essential skills. Make and bake herb and cheese scones, using chopped herbs from the class and learn how to chop a mirepoix base to take home. After the class, enjoy a light lunch in the dining room and take home an apron, a tote bag and two recipes for the mirepoix base.
