At the start of nearly every great recipe is prepping your food with dicing, chopping, peeling, or slicing of fresh ingredients.  Join Scott McInnes for a free demo class on the fundamentals of knife skills.  Whether you are just starting out or if you would like to sharpen your knife skills in the kitchen all may join this demo.  The material covered in the class will help you choose the right knife for the job, safety when using knives, care of knives, and making food prep faster and more enjoyable.

Scott McInnes began cooking at a young age, encouraged by his mother who wanted her kids to be able to take care of themselves, and started cooking professionally at The Colonnade in 1986.  He then attended The Culinary Institute of America in 1992.

Participants can enjoy a small salad made from the ingredients they learn to prep!

Free and open to the public.

Sweetwater Farm

Sweetwater Organic Community Farm was established in 1995 as a nonprofit community-supported urban organic farm and environmental education center in Tampa, Florida. We are located on 6 acres of suburban property along the Sweetwater Creek in Tampa’s Town ‘n’ Country neighborhood, in Hillsborough County, Florida. We operate a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Membership program, Sweetwater Sunday Farmers’ Market and Music Series open to the public, educational field trip programs for visiting groups, farm tours, workshops, outdoor movies, seasonal events, volunteer opportunities and more! Through our hands-on programs, visitors of all ages discover the wonders of nature, explore ecological interconnections, practice appropriate land stewardship and master sustainable agriculture techniques. Our farm provides the freshest possible organic vegetables and herbs for hundreds of Tampa Bay residents each year. At Sweetwater, community members come together to grow and enjoy fresh organic food, acquire sustainable living skills, support local agriculture, enjoy nature, make new friends and be a part of the community.
