Wholly Cheap Foods

For Christmas, my boyfriend enrolled me in a knife skills class at the Whole Foods Bowery Culinary Center on Houston Street. It was awesome: we learned to chop, dice, and julienne just about any old thing and in the end we got to eat the fruits of our labors. I walked out of the class feeling like a samurai swordswoman. Seriously, don't mess with me: I'll cut a bitch.

Since then I've been monitoring Whole Food's class calendar closely, and was pleased to see that in addition to some of their hands-on classes, they offer some lectures and demonstrations...for free. 

One in particular caught my eye (and the eye of my helpful friend Nina--Thanks Neens!):
