"To keep the blood out of our vegetables." LOL!

Hands down the best "knife skills video" I've seen in YouTube yet. Awesome job!

#realcomment: Look at me thinking I didn't need to see this video....when in fact I picked up several tips that I could improve upon. 1. I wasn't pushing the heel of the blade through the yes, I was often left with "accordion vegetable slices". 2. Height of my cut was probably too high because i was using more of the tip. I like to teach youth basic knife skills and I never thought to start them off with softer veggies and will take that to heart as I get to immerse 15 youth into the kitchen experience next week. Timely and valuable video, thanks!

I am a surgeon, supposed to be very skillful with the knife! I just want you to know that after trying many other videos on YouTube you are the only instructor who showed me clearly why I was not performing as I wished cutting vegetables. You are just awesome. Since I watched you on this video I followed your advice and became a very proficient “vegetable surgeon, cook”. It did not take any time! Just patience and knowledge.
Congratulations not only for this video.
I have followed you for a couple of years
You are just outstanding and practical. Your recipes always work and the proportions of the ingredients are always perfect. Thank you for your advice and for your incredible quality as a teacher.
I will try to visit your cooking school after this pandemia.
Sincerely and gratefully

Helen, I’m watching this video an hour after getting home from urgent care because I cut my finger while making dinner. I am going to work on my knife skills !!Thank you for the encouraging words

[bobino]

You’re like a Jedi of chopping. Great video!

[m.seangriffin]

This is the best knife instruction video I have seen - and I have watched MANY. Well done!!

[keenahudson]

I thought my knife skills were pretty good. I learned the rocking motion when I was 10. But as usual I have learned so much! Tha k you.

[thomasgurgal]

Helen has the magic. I could listen to her voice all day long 🤔👍

[shanlee]

This woman is lovely. This is the best knife skills video I've found. I can watch and listen to her all day!

[newleigh]

You’re an amazing teacher! Relatable, funny, practical, informative- I wish I had found your YT videos sooner than now. I’ve been in different roles within the food industry on and off for the past 18 years, and still learned new tips from you. 💜 Thank you.

[captm]

You are a great teacher. Thank you for the helpful information.

[beccaminkin]

I feel dirty watching your videos for free. Your teaching skills are soooo effective!

[tomchepey]

Excellent video. I don't think you could improve on it at all. I have been cooking for years and own my own restaurant and still watched it and enjoyed your video. Thank you for producing these quality videos.

[burkeproperties]

What a delightful person! I watch some of these even though I already have the skill being covered, just because she's so charming.

[viewitnow]

I love your presentation. Like a quiet chat with a friend.

So many channels get caught up in being ExTrEaMe! and loud they rapidly become nothing but annoying. This was just a calm talk from an expert with many good tips and analogies to make the points clear. Just subscribed :o)

[imhangryyall]

Great video, Helen! Thank you. Gotta admit, I hate the claw but the few times I've sliced myself tell me that I need to get better at it.

[missellie]

I have been searching for your tutorials all my life! You, my friend are a spectacular instructor. My goodness beautiful, I’m 63 years old and for the first time in my life I GET IT! Thank you so much, to the moon and back.

[vilhelmhammershoi]

You had me at ''not as awkward as a bleeding thumb''! :)

[esnrp]

Ma'am you are so calm and a great teacher.
