Pro Cook Series | Professional Cooking Class 1 | Knife Skills

Does a sharp knife make food taste better?

That has been blown out of the water with a unanimous YES and yes, you can find a sharp knife around any corner or at any supermarket. What you however won’t find around any corner or at any supermarket is craftsmanship.

If you’ve watched Top Chef or Chopped and wondered how those professional chefs are so great at chopping vegetables, wonder no more: the only thing between you and professional knife skills is a cutting board, a sharp chef’s knife, and an expert guide.
