Book Reviews of Knife Skills Illustrated: A User's Manual
Book Review: good for learning basic skills
Summary: 5 Stars
I could probably live without having to skip ever other page (ones intended for left-handed), but I guess it makes more sense to have one book, than two for different audiences.
It teaches you skills that are useful in day to day life if you cook at home at least several times a week. After reading it, I can say that I am more conscious about how I use my knives, and it is a good thing.
Summary of Knife Skills Illustrated: A User's Manual
Don't be surprised if it changes the way you cook. Knives are the most common pieces of equipment in the kitchen, yet few cooks know the basic techniques that can allow them to carve, chop, slice, and mince effectively. Peter Hertzmann teaches you skills that encompass everything you need to do with a knife in the kitchen, whether you're a four-star chef or an at-home beginner. This comprehensive guide fills a gaping void in culinary literature. 800 drawings.Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Books
