The Experience

Seeing a trained chef transform raw vegetables into impeccably chopped ingredients is like watching a wizard at work. But you don’t need a wand to master this magic—just a skilled instructor to show you how it’s done. Join Chef Mark Kalix for a live virtual class where you’ll learn the secrets of prepping like a pro.

  • Mark will teach you the basics of slicing and dicing with precision and introduce you to advanced cuts, like oblique, ribbon, and brunoise.
  • You’ll learn the proper way to hold a knife, discover the uses of different types of knives, and find out how to care for your tools so they’ll stay sharp and last a lifetime.
  • By the end of class, you’ll have a sharp new skill set that will let you fly through prep work like a culinary wiz and only get better over time.
  • Bonus: The class comes with two recipes from Mark, so you’ll be able to use your beautifully prepped ingredients right away.

Class length: 75 minutes
We suggest: Gift this class along with our Kitchen Wiz Cut & Prep Board. Inspired by chefs, this multifunctional wood board provides storage space, a cutting area, and solutions to common issues that arise when creating culinary masterpieces or just throwing together a weeknight meal.

So it isn't surprising that he's added teaching to his long resumé. The Ohio native, who now calls Denver, Colorado home, focuses on having fun in the kitchen and using fresh ingredients prepared with skilled techniques to bring out their best flavor. When Mark isn't in the kitchen, you'll find him mountain biking, skiing, climbing and enjoying the great outdoors with friends and family.

For this class, you'll need one large chef's knife, a sharpening steel, a large cutting board (wood or plastic), bowls to hold ingredients, a trash bowl, a vegetable peeler, the ingredients outlined in the link below.

Take Your Food Cutting Skills to the Next Level!

If you enjoy cooking from home, learning the fundamentals of knife skills is a must have. For spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I learned a lot, mainly because I never paid attention to the proper way of holding a knife - I was able to get the job done. Chef Mark Kalix was engaging throughout the class and with the techniques I'll be able to bring speed to food prepping.

Highly Recommended for Any Home cook!

Chef Kalix was very engaging in demonstrating how to efficiently dice various types of vegetables. He shared basic knife skills like how to properly hold, cut and sharpen a knife, as well as how to set up your cutting board to streamline prep. I'm a proficient home cook and I learned a lot from the course. I highly recommend this class!

Cutting Up

Great class - in the end it seemed like that knuckle pushes back toward meinstead of how I have struggled for 40 years trying to keep it right on top and pressing down. So - wow, the first time in my life the guide knuckle felt natural and comfortable. My cuts improved immediately. Way worth it. The filet cut is a great tool as well. I would like to do some molecular gastronomy stuff to be honest...

Best Unexpected Experience Course Yet!

This was our favorite Unexpected Experiences course we've taken. I lack confidence with my knife skills, and my husband is very quick when prepping food. We both learned some very helpful tricks from Chef Mark proving that he can cater to multiple levels of skill at the same time. Thank you!

This knife skills class was excellent - we learned so much and got good practice. We had a good variety of veggies to practice cutting, and Mark gave great tips along the way. His instructions were very clear, and it was easy to see and follow along with everything he was doing. Loved it!!
