The sharper the skills, the potential of making your meal more magnificent than ever.
The Garden Kitchen is hosting their first hands-on knife skills cooking class of the new year from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 25.
Could your “knife skills” use a little work?
The class is going to teach you some of the basic knife skills and also practice more fundamental cuts — like a mince, dice, brunoise, bâtonnet, and julienne. You’ll even get to practice cutting large food items like a head of cabbage, herbs, and onions.
Aside from all of the slicing and dicing, you’ll walk away with an idea of how to maintain and keep your knives sharp, along with shopping tips for cost-effective produce purchasing.
Each seat in the class is $55 per person and includes a light Mexican-style lunch and ingredients to take home for dinner.
The Garden Kitchen is located at 2205 S. Fourth Ave. For more information on the class, call (520) 621-0476 or visit thegardenkitchen.org.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
