The same sharp professionalism is evident in Nella Cucina’s classes, with students piloting pots and pans at state-of-the-art workstations to coax delicious flavours from a patchwork of fresh ingredients.

Groupon Says
Know Your Knives
Nella’s ancestors at Nella Cutlery have been manufacturing kitchen implements since the 1950s, so you can trust their expertise when it comes to choosing the right knife for the right task. Here’s a handy cheat sheet to get you started:
Cutting bread: bread knife
Cutting ice cream: ice-cream knife
Cutting the ribbon at new penguin habitats: Novelty-sized safety sword
Sawing effortlessly through tomatoes, soup cans, tree stumps, and, why yes, even the double-barrel of this Remington 12-gauge shotgun!: The live studio audience simply refuses to believe that a single knife could do all this
Cutting through restless hoards of samurai ghosts on your doorstep: They’re here to help.
