Knife skills and knife care are among the most essential skills in the kitchen. Allow your favorite budding chef to learn how to mince, chop, and chiffonade in Chef Jean-Pierre's three-hour class for $85 on Saturdays. Other classes available, including weeknight dinners focused on pasta making, fish courses, a classic French dinner, and an Italian night.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
