BASIC KNIFE SKILLS DEMONSTRATION & DISCUSSION Lars Liebisch | Private Chef
Demonstrations by professional chef, Chef Lars Liebisch will show you how to properly slice, chop and dice. He will demonstrate cutting techniques for a variety of different vegetables. You’ll learn about the many types of knives and how to use them for different tasks. Chef Lars will show you how to sharpen your knives at home and how to take care of them. We recommend cutting vegetables along only if you are comfortable with your own knife and can multitask as the instructor may not troubleshoot any issues in real time. A large cutting board and a chef’s knife are best suited for this class. If possible, follow this class on a larger screen device like a laptop or tablet.

BAGELS AND PRETZELS Evelyn Schichner | Culinary Instructor
Let’s make delicious pies at home. In this online class, you’ll learn how to make strawberry cream pie, hand pie, and galette. We’ll learn how to make pie crust, pastry cream, stable whipped cream, and glaze from scratch. We’ll also talk about blind baking. We’ll use the leftover pie dough to make mini pies so nothing goes to waste. You’ll never buy store-bought pie crust again.
Whether you prefer New York bagels or German pretzels, you can easily master them both at home. Bagels and pretzels share similar ingredients and baking techniques even though bagels can be denser and soft pretzels can be doughier. We’ll start with making the dough from scratch and then turn them into different shapes. While we are baking, we’ll talk about how we can flavor them into sweet and savory bagels and pretzels and how we can serve them.
