As someone who loves to cook, I have to say I have spent a lot of time over the years cutting fruits, vegetables, and meats. Without a question this is the most time consuming part of cooking for me, even with having my husband assist me. Even though I have a nice set of knives, it sometimes seem challenging knowing how exactly to use them, especially with oddly shaped items. I have always wanted to take a cooking class just to learn how to speed up cooking prep., With my busy schedule, I needed something to help. Luckily, we recently found the perfect solution – the Kwilling J.A. Henckels’s Complete Book of Knife Skills.

Complete Book of Knife Skills: Our Thoughts
As someone who has a very nice knife set, I have to say I was very excited to get this book. I will honestly say I was ignorant when I first got them, and assumed having very nice knives would make me a better cook. While it made prepping a bit easier, I have to say it wasn’t always more efficient. With the Complete Book of Knife Skills, I was shocked at how many things I was cutting wrongly, making twice as much work for me and making a bit more of a mess out of what I was cutting. While relearning how to cut some things will take time, I have to say that having the picture guides showing me the proper technique and knife makes learning so much easier. Based on my own experience, I am delighted to give the Complete Book of Knife Skills an A+ rating!

This is different from any other book that I’ve seen. I would have to see the book, I never really thought about knife skills before.
This sounds fabulous!! I totally struggle in the kitchen!! I bet speeding up prep time would really help me out!! Thanks for sharing!
I know I am doing alot of this wrong too. This is a book I would love to have. Thank you so much for sharing
I love this
This looks interesting, I know I would learn a lot!
This would be a really useful book as I admit I’m not very knowledgeable about the different techniques. Thanks for posting!
This looks interesting. I always hate how long it takes to chop things up. It normally ends up with me spending more for the pre chopped things at the store
I never thought much about using a knife correctly. I suppose it could make things quicker. I’m just happy to have a sharp knife when I need one.
I think speed does matter!
I need this book! I really don’t feel as confident or as knowledgeable about using knives in the kitchen as I should. We have a very nice set of knives that could be of much better service if I knew more about them!
