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 decadeand 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.

Each cutting, slicing, and chopping method is thoroughly explainedand illustrated with clear, step-by-step photographs.
