This is also a great introductory course to the wider recreational portfolio of courses and our dynamic style of delivery. Although this particular course has a high practical content it is activity based rather than recipe based.
We are hugely passionate about sharp knives and have a unique partnership with a Japanese knife importer. These knives are approximately 3 times as sharp as a stainless steel blade and have great authenticity.
It is our opinion that this range of knives are at their zenith. Take a closer look in the Cook Shop.
