“I am determined to finally have confidence using my knife, improve my efficiency in the kitchen and just maybe impress the pants off of everyone including myself. No more boring meals around here!”
Any of these describe your current ~situation~?
I get very nervous around ingredients that I am not familiar with and even ones that I am. What is the right way to cut an onion?!
It takes me 3 hours to prepare dinner. I would like to be able to get dinner on the table without the time commitment
It would be nice to have precision and consistency in cutting my veggies for soups.
I feel like I waste a lot of my food when I am cutting it, help!
I am really interested in making my food look exceptionally good and dare I say professional. Watch out Instagram!
I just want to be comfortable with my knife.
I love learning and food is my passion!
Most of us are expected to know how to cook and by default that means we should know how to use a knife. Unless cooking was a passion or interest we may have just done our best with our knife and never thought twice about it. Which may have resulted in food waste, unnecessary prep times, lack of confidence and uneven cooking. Let’s not even get started on presentation!
BUT, what if we went back to the basics and really put some time and energy into mastering knife skills. Focusing on these basic skills could really change how we engage in the kitchen.
Practice and repetition of using your knife will make you 1000% more confident in (and out) of the kitchen. It will increase your efficiency and also reduce waste. When you can use your knife proficiently it will open the door to lots of creativity. Knife skills are the foundation to food styling and presentation.
It’s a win, win, win really!

Hey, I am Nicole - AKA “the Platter Maven.” I am an artist, adventurer, avid cheese supporter and founder of Maven Oak Creative, a boutique catering company that specializes in creating over the top cheese platters and grazing tables. Tuesday Night Dinner is my newest online exploration where I focus on enjoying life by celebrating the small things and it all starts with food styling...Well actually knife skills ;) Because without sharp knife skills there is no food styling.
“Life is too short to eat boring food!”
I have been featured in The Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Lake Magazine, Canvas Rebel Magazine(online), Go Solo (online) and nominated for City Weekly Best Of in 2022. I have taught in-person workshops and partner with other small businesses to put on collaborative workshop experiences. I have taught with Lifelong Learning, a continuing education program through my alma matter the University of Utah.
I seek out mountains and rosé in the summer time and crave an ice cold glacier and whiskey in winter. I am obsessed with reality TV and my cat Cheddar Jack! I am always planning the next adventure…Greenland anyone?!
I thrive on adventure and spent most of my adult life traveling and living in Seattle, California, New York City and in an RV cruising around the country. I have held almost every position possible in the service industry including working as a Culinary Assistant for a traveling TV show called Scraps on the FYI network. With an Art degree and an affinity for food, I started Maven Oak in 2019 to elevate and bring THE drama to the snacking experience. Tuesday Night Dinner was created so I could share this more than just my local community!
