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! *LINK: https://amzn.to/2wyk1rW 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! *note that I am an affiliate of Amazon and if you love the item I suggested and buy it, I make a small percentage. Thank you for supporting my content!

Before going to my first cooking classes 👍🏻
Thank you so very much for this tutorial! Every other cooking video that I’ve watched has assumed that people already know the basics. Lots of people, including myself, have no idea where to start. I appreciate the level of detail in this video!

Great video straight to the point
I (barely) manage to cook something to eat for myself, but -being Italian- I'd like to learn the basic skills of proper cooking, so I browsed around and found this video. When you talked about the importance of having a sharp knife, I couldn't help smiling a little: I'm a professional hand-sharpener, as in I actually do that for a living without EVER using grinders / sanders / electring tools , and I couldn't agree more! I'll keep watching this series of videos, and I'll quote you when I'll have to try and explain my customers, usually chefs and professional cooks, that a dull knife not only requires more energy, but it's also dangerous for yourself. :)
I know very little about cooking but want to learn.I am so glad I found you. Thank you so much.
I'm 8 years old and I'm getting into the Basics etc and this really helped me (learning how to do the stove)
