Join Chef John Jakeman, Certified Executive Chef (CEC) and Certified Culinary Educator (CCE), for an interactive, hands-on knife skills class designed to build confidence and precision in the kitchen.
As President of the ACF Pikes Peak Chapter and a seasoned culinary instructor, Chef John has trained countless students in the foundations of professional cooking. With a deep passion for craftsmanship in the kitchen, he’ll guide you through the techniques that separate good cooks from great ones.
In this practical workshop, you’ll learn:
- Proper knife grip and handling for maximum control
- Safe cutting techniques that protect your fingers and boost efficiency
- Essential cuts and best practices used by professional chefs
- Tips for working confidently and quickly without frustration
Whether you’re a home cook looking to sharpen your everyday prep or someone wanting to build rock-solid fundamentals, you’ll leave with skills you can apply immediately at home—saving time, reducing waste, and making cooking more enjoyable.
Class Details:
- Bring your own knives if you’d like personalized guidance on the tools you use at home.
- Chef Jakeman requires your knives to be sharp in order to use them in class. Bring in your knives for sharpening ahead of the class if you’d like to use them.
- Demo knives provided if you’d rather not bring your own
- We’ll prepare and enjoy small, delicious snacks together using the techniques you just learned
- If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please leave a comment in the order notes.
Spots are limited—secure your place and take your knife skills (and your cooking) to the next level!
