About this course
This knife skills course starts with the blade itself: which knife suits which task, how to hold it safely, and how to keep an edge razor-sharp through a full service. From there it works through strip cuts, cube cuts and the shapes a kitchen names out loud, brunoise and chiffonade among them.
The second half is the kitchen equipment essentials around the knife. Boards chosen for the job and colour-coded so raw and cooked never share a surface. Sharpening and honing treated as routine rather than as repair. Then pots and pans, each one matched to what it is genuinely good at holding.
Eight lessons, forty-five minutes, filmed plainly and recorded at Easy level. You finish able to choose a knife, keep it true, cut to a named shape and reach for the right pan without stopping to think, which is the base that every other class in Gronda's Essentials line assumes you already have.
