On February 5, 2025, JSI hosted our newly updated Sharpen Up with Knife Skills workshop for Dover-Sherborne school nutrition staff conducted by JSI Chef Instructor Michelle Condakes. This hands-on workshop focuses on proper knife handling while participants practice several basic cuts to build confidence and efficiency to support scratch cooking.
This workshop is a great way to train school nutrition staff in proper cutting techniques and how to safely use kitchen knives. The Dover-Sherborne school nutrition team was fully immersed in the workshop and had fun learning and practicing their knife skills. Check out the workshop photos below!
Would your school nutrition team benefit from sharpening their knife skills? Request a Workshop to Go and bring the JSI Chef Instructor to your school! For additional online culinary training videos, check out the online video series on the CRISP webpage.
