COOKING BASICS | The FIRST thing you need to learn

Where to start? I’ve got you covered! We chat about the first thing you need to have in hand to be successful in the kitchen – a sharp chefs knife! How to pick one out, how to hold it, how to use it, and I even demo those skills by dicing and slicing a bell pepper.

RECAP:

You DO NOT need to spend a fortune on a chef’s knife, however making a good investment will last you for YEARS. My first chef knife is linked below, and I still have it and use 10 years later. It cost me around $100 (which is about the normal price for a good one), but just sharpen what you have at home until buying a better one fits into your budget!

MAKE SURE YOUR KNIFE IS SHARP! I promise this will make things way easier. I will create and link a video of how to sharpen down the road.

PRACTICE! It’s the only way you will become comfortable with the chef’s knife. Every time you make dinner, practice your skills on those vegetables or fruit. I promise you will get there!
