Another knife skills class ...

You can enjoy an evening of sharp wit and sharp knives with Travis Standley and Jane Wolery on May 19 in Fairfield, Montana.

Travis Standley shows knife sharpening techniques.

On the Cutting Edge teaches participants the basics of knife selection and care, as well as efficient cutting skills for fresh produce. The knife skills class is planned for May 19 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the St. John’s Catholic Parish Center in Fairfield.  The fee for the class is $5 per person and registration is required.  Class will be limited to 15 participants. 

Learning knife skills can help you fly through food prep.  

During the three hour class, participants will learn about economical knife choices, cutting board care, knife care, sharpening and food safety.  Participants will also practice a variety of cutting techniques that should increase efficiency in food preparation, encourage production of homemade meals, and increase the use of fruits and vegetables. Contact the MSU Teton County Extension Office to register for the class.
