Best books to learn Knife skills, in order
Knife work is the foundation the rest of cooking assumes, and it builds strictly in order. Start with grip, safety, and sharpening, then the standard cuts — dice, julienne, chiffonade — then breaking down proteins and vegetables at speed. Get the pinch grip and a sharp edge first, because everything faster and fancier is just those fundamentals repeated cleanly and without looking down.
