Too many accidents occur because hungry breakfasters cut bagels with the nearest scythe, scissors, or buffalo hoof. Get knife know-how to prevent stampedes with today's Groupon: for $25, you get admission to Knife Skills 101 (a $50 value) plus 20% off an additional class of your choice at Chef's Lab, located in Montclair.

Knife Skills 101 is taught by Cuisine Inspirations owner, Scott Savokinas, a seasoned chef who relishes every aspect of the culinary craft. He'll teach you the safest and deftest ways to dice, slice, mince, and chop, putting meats and veggies in the savoriest shapes while shaving time and awkwardness off kitchen routines.

At the end of the class, students and chef partake in whichever dish was prepared during the demonstration.

Chef's Lab's three kitchen stations, appointed with new fixtures, spotless equipment, and plenty of gadgets, are a cookery craver’s wonderland.
