Knife Skills Course

Saw the post about this yesterday-anyone have details?

It's held in Cooks Academy in Dun Laoghaire, down near the dart station

The next course is sold out, but there's another session in Feb. If you hold out till then, I'll go with you (need to buy new knives - too emvbarassed to go with the ones I have!)

could i join ye if havent popped?

ooooh! i am going to buy new knives in Australia. we have rubbish knives here (mainly because we bought the best of everything for our house in Australia and when we moved on a whim we vowed never to make the same mistake again)

How much should you spend on a set fairly decent knives, not the top end of the range, but midway? We arent serious cooks like ye lot , but cook a fair bit and the ones we have are cr*p?

I did a course with them before (not knife skills). Not the best €150 euro I ever spent

Hokey I think your better off without a "set" of knives. What I'd recommend to start is a decent sized chefs knife, a vegetable knife and a smaller utility knife. I really like Global knives but they are very expensive however if your only buying 3 they might be doable (btw BTs normally include at least some of them in the after Christmas sale). If you can only buy one knife - get this one. It's a 5 1/2 inch veg knife and it makes life in the kitchen a whole lot more enjoyable.
