Learn from our experts about the lost art of butchery and experience more than just chopping meat. Avedano’s classes are experiential— hands-on, hands-in working and learning forums designed with you, the home chef, in mind. Our goal is to provide useful and easy-to-understand information about specific foods and preparations. You will take home your goodies and a summary of what you learned for future reference.
* Classes have a minimum of 4 students, if minimum is not met, students will be contacted about rescheduling within one week of class.*
