DVD Review: alright
Summary: 3 Stars
okay for a amatuer . typical over the top american acting wich is anoying but fundermentals okayDVD Review: Great for folks new to food preparation with cutlery
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a guy and was never taught how to cook. I learned on my own. I used to make a mess when preparing food! This is the second copy of this DVD that I've purchased. I included it along with a fine cutlery set as a wedding gift for my niece. I bought the first copy for myself as an alternative to attending a cutlery skills class taught in Chicago, way too inconvenient for my location in the suburbs. It demonstrates so many useful, valuable tips ideas and techniques regarding cutlery and food preparation, that it has improved my life in my kitchen tremendously! The presentation is fun, and what is presented is highly valuable! The videography is also quite good, as its very easy to see the presented techiques. Unless you're already a trained chef or your mother/father was gifted with cutlery and passed those skills along to you, you can learn from this DVD!DVD Review: Thoroughly, enjoyable and informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I really wanted to give 5-stars to this wonderful DVD on Mastering Knife Skills by Chef Mike C. & Chef Olivier Said, except for one aspect that was disappointing for a kitchen amateur, like myself. After making only one passing reference to the traditional French Chef Knife, the remainder of the DVD focused on using the shorter, flat, Asian style, Chef Knife. I can understand this is because it's Mike C's preface, but for more complete instruction, I really wish there could have been equal time for the use of the French Chef Knife. Nevertheless, the excellent information in this DVD is delivered in a very entertaining manner by two very funny characters. I would definitely purchase any future presentations they produce. Their Website is www.KitchenOnFire.comDVD Review: Awesome DVD and I still have 10 fingers!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a complete guide to using knives in the kitchen, which may sound dry, but was funny and entertaining. It is a great price and great value for anyone looking to sharpen their own cooking skills.
Plus these guys teach cooking classes in Berkeley at Kitchen on Fire, so I can check them out in person!
