Cooking 101: Culinary School Lessons — Precision Knife Skills 🔪

Holy shit this is exactly what I needed

I've been looking for cooking 101 type content to level up my cooking skills! Very excited for future episodes. Great stuff 👍

Are you looking to up your cooking skills at home, or just enjoy learning about culinary techniques? Well then you’re at the right place 🔪👩‍🍳 I have so enjoyed taking you along my culinary school journey, teaching you new skills and techniques. Now I want to hone in on the key skills I learned and teach them to you at home. 😊 To kick things off we’re starting with the foundationals, and knife skills is at the top of the list!! Here are the key elements I talk about in the video: Blocking - squaring off all 4 sides of a round vegetable (feel free to save the scraps and repurpose them in other ways!!) Planks - large rectangular squares stemming from a blocked veg that sets the stage for the size cut you’re aiming for. Batonnet - a square edge rectangular block that is 1/4 of an inch along each cube side and about 1/4” x 1/4” x 2 1/2” Med dice - batonnet cut into even cubes, 1/2 inch all sides Julienne - a thin rectangular strip about 1/8” x 1/8” x 2 1/2” Brunoise - a small fine dice stemming from a julienne, 1/8” cube Knife: Damascus steel santoku from

Girl I was with you when we were practicing diced potatoes in every video for almost a month. Look at you now, I could almost cry 😭

Look how she pivot right into her next channel. Love it!

Blocking kills me. I feel like it's wasteful.

Thanks for going to culinary school and making this channel to teach us so we don’t have to 😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾

Did anyone else feel immense relief watching these videos, which demonstrated how much practicing was done to learn these knife skills? I constantly struggle with cutting potatoes so the cubes are uniform.

I love so much, I've been here since the beginning, I'd live to see FULL LENGTH videos from you!!! We all would!

Man, did this bring back memories of culinary arts school 🤦🏾‍♀️ Chef busting out the ruler on you to show you that its not cut right 🙃

Oh man!!! Knife skills and Vivaldi “Winter!” SO GREAT!!!

You're a straight hustler!!! Love seeing the journey. You mastered the potato dice!

Congratulations!!!!🎉🎉🎉 This is very helpful thanks!!

Your chef's knife is your best friend in the kitchen. ☺️

Looking forward to this series !

This is precisely what I need. My knife skills are horrible. Part of it is due to hands and shoulders that do not work very well despite nice sharp knives I look forward to my knife skills getting much better and you are always an inspiration

Aaaw. Paying it forward. You are wonderful!

The first thing I thought of was her necklace bc it’s the same necklace that Alexa has in Alexa & Katie
