As a food blogger, I get asked quite a few food-related questions from my friends. Usually I get "What wine would you recommend?" or "What cheese should I serve with this wine?", but this time the question was "Where can I find a knife skills class?"

I know of two cooking schools in the St. Louis area:

• Le Cordon Bleu http://www.cordonbleu.edu

• L'Ecole Culinaire http://www.lecole.edu

In addition to those culinary schools, L’Ecole has an Academy for “regular folks” who just want to learn new skills without the culinary school commitment. The Academy is located in Olivette near Olive and 270.

Do you know of any others?
