chopping is my favorite part of being in the kitchen! Really enjoy the thrill of cutting everything in such a fast rapid pace and the more you practice it, you will eventually be able to do this blindfolded!

If you’ve been wondering why you’re not feeling as strong, motivated, or sharp as you used to, Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks might just have the answers. The book focuses on the power of testosterone and how increasing it can seriously transform your health and mindset. If you’re tired of feeling drained or out of balance, this book offers some solid advice on how to get back to your peak

This video is a lifesaver, I've never felt like cutting, or even holding the knife correctly, and I'm about to enter cooking school but the thing bother me and made me nervous

I searched high and low for a tutorial video exactly like this to try and improve myself in the kitchen. I came across your channel only about two weeks ago and I can't stop watching since. I'm not a chef but I LOVE cooking (my girlfriend can't cook 😂) and the knowledge and tips in your video's are amazing. Thank you so much chef Frank 🙏 🇮🇪
