Recent reviews of Knife Skills Workshop with Chef Dan Rothstadt

• 3/5 from Debra Garber, attended Sep 2026: I took the Knife Skills Workshop with Chef Dan Rothstadt on Thursday, September 17, 2026, with my daughter. I thought the class was just ok. The knife skills he taught were good, but I felt the instructor talked down to some in the class, especially the employees who were participating. Maybe he was joking, but I felt it was not very professional or kind, and my daughter and I felt bad for the employees. I took the Wusthof knife skills class the day before and I felt that class was far superior in skills taught and that the instructor really wanted us to grasp the concepts being taught. Definitely a night & day difference between the two classes.
• 5/5 from Darian Faraca, attended Nov 2023: This class was excellent. I took my mom for a birthday gift and we had a great time. We learned a lot of new skills from Logan. Dionne was also very helpful during the class. The coffee gals coming around to take orders at the beginning of the class, which was great too! I highly recommend this class
• 5/5 from Sharon Koch, attended Nov 2023: Class atmosphere was both comfortable and professional. There was ample time and materials to practice. I feel I will be safer now in the kitchen. A very enjoyable experience!
• 5/5 from Marianne Orschel, attended Nov 2023: He was really good. Loved that there were a lot of veggies available to keep on practicing
• 4/5 from Bonnie Asien, attended Nov 2023: I learned a lot and enjoyed practicing the cutting techniques. Overall, I found the class to be helpful.
• 5/5 from Samantha Howell, attended Sep 2023: I feel much safer using knives. Teacher was awesome. I really was not cutting or taking care of my knifes well AT ALL.
• 5/5 from Janna Loeppky, attended Sep 2023: Amazing instruction and length of class! I can’t wait to take another one. I feel so much more confident using my kitchen knives!
• 5/5 from Joe Miller, attended Sep 2023: Knife Skills 101 was a great class and relevant for most of us! I learned a lot of essential basics and really enjoyed the experience. Logan was a great instructor and the Kitchen Engine facility is fantastic. Well organized and resourced. I appreciated the available drinks (coffee, in my case). I plan to do more Kitchen Engine classes.
• 5/5 from Alex Marmon, attended Sep 2023: Awesome class for a beginner. Might not take me 2 hours to chop peppers and onions anymore!
• 5/5 from Christy Teets, attended Jul 2023: It was helpful to get to ask specific questions and be able to get answers verses just watching.
• 4/5 from Nellie Swartz, attended Jul 2023: The teacher was very kind and thorough, willing to give one-on-one instruction when needed. He did the best explanation of the "claw" that I have heard. The kitchen was beautiful and well-lit, the station was well-supplied with everything and was well-designed. If materials were provided, did you like them? It was fun to get to work with very high-quality knives that the average home cook doesn't get to work with very often. Was the experience good value for money? If you are a brand-new knife user, yes, very much so. I was expecting more opportunities for people who are more comfortable with knives as well, maybe working with some vegetables or cuts of meat that are more challenging to break down. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who has little to no experience with knife skills at all, not an intermediate knife user.
• 4/5 from Kelsey Crocker, attended Jul 2023: Instructor was nice, explained things clearly, and helped us pick out knives to purchase after class. Good mix of demos and hands-on chopping time. We got to take home the practice veggies to make soup stock later!
