Lessons From the Kitchen

Since 1985, we've been celebrating great food and friends at Kitchenique. In the early years, we huddled around a small counter as our local chefs cooked on portable burners. We added our full-sized teaching kitchen in 1999 and it's been a party ever since! This collection of recipes is a work in progress with recipes from my childhood in New Orleans and those I've written for my classes. We'll be adding our Guest Chef's Recipe Collections over time. Enjoy, share and celebrate!

knife

Many of you have requested information on a local knife sharpening service and since we really don’t know of one to recommend . . we’ve decided to offer the service ourselves!

Starting in June you can give us a call with a number and blade length of the knives you want sharpened. We’ll arrange a time for you to bring them in and have them sharpened while you wait OR you can drop them off and we’ll let you know when they’ll be ready for pick up. The charges for sharpening are based on the blade size
(the length in inches from the tip of the blade back to the handle).

Up to a 6" Blade $3.00
7" to 9" Blade $5.00
10" to 12" Blade $6.00
To make a reservation for sharpening while you wait call 837-0432. If you’d like to drop them off for pick up later in the week you can just bring them in anytime we’re here (even during classes) Monday through Saturday and we’ll let you know when they’ll be ready.
