| Press Release Zwilling J.A. Henckels Complete Book of Knife Skills
The Essential Guide to Use, Techniques & Care
The definitive book on knife skills
Every home chef needs a knife skills book. Why? Because good knife skills allow you to cut ingredients uniformly, allowing everything to cook at the same rate, which saves time and effort as well as helping to create a perfect presentation.
The unique approach of this book stems from the authors experience in the classroom, where they actually taught and observed how people learn. Then Elliot and DeWan refined their teaching process based on this vast and valuable experience.
Some of the features in the book are:
More than 1,200 color step-by-step photos that clearly instruct and provide information on each technique
Arrows and other graphic devices that direct the reader to the exact photo on the page and the precise skill illustrated
A concealed wire-o binding that lies flat, keeping a cooks fingers on the knife, where they safely belong
Clearly labeled full-color illustrations throughout
Concise, detailed and easy-to-understand instructions on how to hold a knife, the basic cuts and the proper techniques for cutting poultry, fish and specific vegetables and fruits, and creative garnishes
Comprehensive knife-sharpening instructions and proper storage information
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Complete Book of Knife Skills is an outstanding book that allows you to learn with confidence, at your own pace, in the comfort of your own kitchen.
