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.

About

With over 30 years of experience at restaurants and hotels across the country, Chef Mark Kalix has abundant culinary knowledge to share. 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.

Great class, great teacher! Maybe not quite "Master" level

This was really a good class and had great information and presentation. The instructor clearly knew the material and how to present and show the skills and was overall charming and engaging. I would definitley recomend the class but be advised this is more like advanced knife skills than master level. If you have spent any time at all in a commercial kitchen this will be pretty basic. Never hurts to practice the basics formally especially when they are well taught but make sure your expectations are in line.

Very Informative Class

Chef Mark was a very good presenter. Got some good tips. He does cover the info a little fast, so it would be nice if it would be possible to review the recording of the session after. I assumed we would be able to review the recording when asked for our permission in the beginning to record, so I was disappointed to have the facilitator say it was just for internal use. There were a couple of techniques he did that I figured I could watch again after when I didn't quite catch what he was doing. Other than that, it was very enjoyable. Oh one other thing - it would be good to know ahead of time to try to set up your camera to see your work surface if possible. I couldn't do that on the fly.

Good basic technique class

Technically, quality was medium - Chef should not have been moving his own camera. The pet dog, dog dishes, and wife on the edge were distracting and unprofessional. Very disappointed I can't watch the recording again to refine presented techniques! We were counting on that when we bought the class and expensive cutting board.

Fun, learning experience

Chef Mark gave clear instruction on use of the chef knife - I had never used this knife correctly before. His presentation was low-key with a lot of humor so I didn't feel intimidated.

Wonderful and fun experience

I got this for my husband's birthday - it was on the 28th!. He is the chef in the family and so is our younger daughter and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. It was just long enough and they learned a lot of new skills and great tips from Chef Mark. It really was a fun experience. We will be looking for more similar experiences on Uncommon goods. Thank you.

One thing to change

The knife handling class was good, but it went too fast through sharpening the knife. I'm still not sure how to do it. I have questions that weren't answered.

I'm glad I did this.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my adult son. It was so different he didn't seem to know what to think. As he read the recipes and instructions, it looked like he was warming to the idea of an on-line cooking class. He did say he could probably use knife handling tips. When the class was done, he gave me a hug and thanked me for a fun gift. He said is was a good experience.
