Hone Your Knife Skills Like a Master Chef

Mike Beek Leave a Comment

If you’re like me, you want to release your inner Samurai and look like the chefs you watch on TV when it comes to your knife skills.

Not only do you look like you are the master chef of your domain, but it also makes the prep work more enjoyable, faster and safer.

Your meals will also look better, and you will be able to tackle more complex cooks in less time.

There’s so much to learn about how to properly use knives for cooking, that I will share more tips and techniques in future posts rather than overfill this one.

As always, I look for your feedback and your own experiences.
