This foundational class is for you if you're a home cook who feels:

😩 Frustrated with how long chopping food is taking you knowing there is a better way

😨 Intimidated by bigger knives so you use the little paring knives for everything

😒 Tired  of chopping food unevenly and nervous to cut a finger in the process

After participating in Chop It Like It's Hot - Knife Skills Foundation class, you will:

 ✔️ Know what to do with your dominant hand (knife hand) and non-dominant hand (guiding hand) to be safe and efficient

✔️ Have a clear direction of how to approach each food in the best way

 ✔️ Know how to make the proper movements with the knife for maximum efficiency

 ✔️ Feel in control and confident with your knife skills 💪🏼

Here’s what you’ll learn inside Chop It Like It’s Hot:

All pre-recorded video lessons are under 10 minutes 

Part 1- Technique Basics* (You'll submit videos for feedback here)

You'll learn how to hold your knife the right way, practice honing (which is different than sharpening) and begin testing out different cutting methods and motions. Once you've got the basic techniques down, we move to applying that to actual knife cuts like small, medium and large dice, julienne and of course we cover the onion and garlic and best techniques to get through them with ease and efficiency. 

Part 2- Understanding Knives & Knife Maintenance

Ever wonder what kinds of knives to use when? We cover that as well as the parts of the knife and its qualities so you're prepared and know what to look for if you ever want to upgrade. Also included is knife safety, care and sharpening (because a sharp knife is a safe and happy knife) so your knives last you a lifetime!

Hey there 👋🏼 I'm Sandy

After spending 12 years cooking professionally in NYC, I became a personal Chef and food blogger but that didn’t quite connect with the calling on my heart–it was the teaching throughout that really made an impact. Now as a home cook myself, I can see how much knife skills are fundamental and I want to teach you the technique (and give you feedback) so you can chop more efficiently and feel confident doing it!

FAQ’s

Do I get to keep the videos?

Yes! Your one-time payment gets you access to all the lessons and any updates I make.

How much time do I need to devote to this?

The class is self-paced and you have continued access to return to it as much as you want -my personalized feedback is only for 3 weeks. Each video is under 10 minutes and the entire class is under 2 hours so you can binge it if it's easier, or focus on the first two modules to optimize my feedback and then get to the other videos later!

Do I need special or expensive knives?

Not at all! You need one Chef knife or similar and a cutting board.

I'm pretty good with chopping. Can this still help?

My experience has been that home cooks don't know what they don't know and settle when their knife skills can be WAY better and it can enhance their chopping and food prep significantly.
