A basic culinary knife cuts infographic

Basic culinary knife cuts by lemasney
Basic culinary knife cuts by lemasney

So, I added knife skills to my to-learn list, and I’ve done some research on the topic. Now I know what a good chef’s knife looks like, how to hold and sharpen it, and how to care for it. My next task was learning how to practice with it, and I found some great info on about.com. However, what I was looking for was an infographic with to-size images of basic cuts, which I did not find. I decided to make my own and share it here. Enjoy!

Two things…

First, I’d like to thank all of you who have started to visit the blog. Apparently, I struck a small nerve. Let’s see if we can grow that. See stats below:

Secondly, had a wonderful misty cool night walk tonight to try to get my 10,000 in. Not there yet, but the night’s not over yet. 🙂

At the culinary arts site on about.com, there is a fantastic gallery of knife cuts that is a simple introduction to the art. Looking forward to practicing these.

Basketball in the misty rain

Melissa and I decided to get out the basketball and play some HORSE, which turned into free throws, then around the world. Great fun, despite our aim, and a lot of activity.
