For 2 weeks, we message back and forth on a video messaging app. It's asynchronous, just like texting a friend (or like having a personal Chef instructor!)
I send you a video lesson (under 5 minutes!)
➡️ You watch it and upload your assignment (also 5 minutes!)
➡️ I send you a video with personalized feedback
➡️ We move onto the next lesson! (In some cases, I may ask you to repeat the assignment if I think you need it)
7 short lessons spread over 2 weeks
If you did one lesson + assignment a day it would be 10 mins per day!

Culinary Institute of America Grad & Cooking Professional, Mom to 2 girls
After spending 12 years cooking professionally in NYC, I became a personal Chef and food blogger but that didn’t connect with the calling on my heart–it was the teaching throughout that really made an impact. Now as a mom and home cook myself, I can see how much knife skills are so needed! I want to teach you the technique so you can chop more efficiently and feel confident doing it!
You will be able to refer back to the lessons and my feedback on the video messaging app only. If you would like access to Part 2 (Knives and maintenance) and Part 3 (How-to Library) the full 1:1 Knife Skills Class is a better fit
The class with my feedback is 2 weeks. 7 short lessons spread over 2 weeks. If you did one lesson + assignment a day it would be 10 mins per day!
Not at all! You need one Chef knife or similar, cutting board and a phone or ipad.
My experience has been that home cooks don't even realize how much better their chopping can be. Having proper knife skills can ABSOLUTELY help you!
