This three-part series will be held Friday, Sept. 20, Friday, Sept. 27, and Friday, October 4 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The Chef’s Academy in Morrisville, located at 2001 Carrington Mill Blvd.

The class schedule is as follows:
Kitchen 101, Introduction to Kitchen Basics, Sept. 20, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
The first class of the series has been developed to teach the basic skills to master the kitchen. During this session, participants will learn the importance of knife skills and care; sanitation and food storage; and starch and vegetable preparation. The chef instructor will present these topics while demonstrating culinary techniques that help develop kitchen skills at home.
Kitchen 102, Cooking Methods, Sept. 27, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
In this hands-on course, participants will be exposed to five cooking methods that chefs have used for the past century. This class will build upon the Kitchen 101 course and focus on preparing meals using various cooking techniques such as roasting, braising, sautéing and pan frying, steaming, poaching and grilling. Participants will learn how to prepare dishes utilizing these fundamental techniques and discuss ways to use one ingredient in multiple recipes.
Kitchen 103, Grand Finale, Oct. 4, 5:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m.
In the final class of the series, participants will discuss how to build a successful pantry; make substitutions in recipes; and understand nutrition in a meal. They will then apply the skills learned from the previous two courses to prepare a meal to be shared with the class.
