How to Cut ...

http://www.hertzmann.com/articles/2001/knives/index.php

Today's site, from food obsessive Peter Hertzmann, offers a
remarkably detailed presentation on how to cut almost anything in
the kitchen. Readers may find this helpful guide, with its
detailed illustrations, a
useful ally in cutting a dash in the culinary line.

"Good knife skills are a combination of knowledge and practice
--the knowledge of which knives to use for which tasks, the
knowledge of how to hold and move a knife, the knowledge of how
various foods are structurally composed, and many other little
bits of knowledge. ... [G]ood knife skills are an essential
component of being a good cook. And good knife skills are not
particularly difficult for the average person to learn. ... In
this new article, I present specific methods for cutting various
fruits and
vegetables." - from the website

The web page offers general cutting advice in its introduction
and moves on the heart of its purpose with instructions for
tackling vegetables from onions to garlic, with a nod to
mushrooms, tomatoes and citrus fruits. The pair of hands beside
each entry links to clearly illustrated images for either right-
or left-handed cooks. Clicking on the appropriate hand leads the
visitor to detailed instructions for each item accompanied by the
essential graphics.
