Details:
This workshop happens rain or shine. We'll be working outdoors so please dress appropriately. It will also be somewhat messy so wear your "grubbies" and work shoes. Each participant should bring:
- a food-safe, clean bucket for processing purposes
- a cooler with ice, to safely transport raw meat
- 3 extra large ziplock, or other food-safe plastic bag
- cloth rags or paper towels
- a large, well-scrubbed cutting board
- a ***freshly sharpened*** high quality paring knife: 3.5 inches, plain edge blade (not serrated); the blade should be robust, not flimsy. Name brand knives are recommended (Wüsthof, etc.)
***Slow Food LA can help provide extra equipment if needed so please make arrangements with them - snail whisperer@slowfoodla.com***
Please Note:
It's fairly common for participants to bring the wrong kind of knife, or knives that are not professionally sharpened. To avoid distress, please visit the example paring knife page below to see the recommended knife type and visit your local farmer's market or Sur le Table store to have your knife professionally sharpened. You will be glad you did.
