As the number of gourmet home kitchens burgeons, so does
the number of home cooks who want to become proficient
users of the professional-caliber equipment they own. And
of all kitchen skills, perhaps the most critical are those
involving the proper use of knives. Norman Weinstein has been teaching his knife skills
workshop at New York City’s Institute of Culinary Education
for more than a decade—and his classes always sell out.
That’s because Weinstein focuses so squarely on the needs
of the nonprofessional cook, providing basic instruction in
knife techniques that maximize efficiency while placing the
least possible stress on the user’s arm. Now, Mastering
Knife Skills brings Weinstein’s well-honed knowledge to
home cooks everywhere. Whether you want to dice an onion with the speed and
dexterity of a TV chef, carve a roast like an expert, bone
a chicken quickly and neatly, or just learn how to hold a
knife in the right way, Mastering Knife Skills will be your
go-to manual. Each cutting, slicing, and chopping method is
thoroughly explained—and illustrated with clear, step-by-
step photographs. Extras include information on knife
construction, knife makers and types, knife maintenance and
safety, and cutting boards, as well as a 30-minute
instructional DVD featuring Weinstein’s most important
techniques.
