At Project CHEF we believe in setting people up for success in the kitchen and we want you to become confident, safe cooks. To help you do this, we want to teach you the skills for successful cooking. Learning to cut safely is one of the most important skills to learn. Once you learn to control a knife so that it doesn’t control you, a wonderful world of cooking awaits. This video will teach young cooks about basic knife skills.
