How to Cut Vegetables
I wouldn’t think that anyone would actually need this how-to guide on chopping vegetables, but my mother has cut herself enough times that I know better.

Update, 11/06/2007
The link above now goes to a promotional website for the book Knife Skills Illustrated: a User’s Guide, written by the same guy who wrote the 2005 how-to article. The original article is no longer available.
Thanks to Alex for cluing me into this with his comment (below).


Hey, I need it, and that is why I posted about it.

Wasn’t sure what Alex was talking about, but apparently the link in this post has turned from a how-to article into a promotional website for a book on knife skills for cooking. Smart way to capitalize on website traffic from someplace like Lifehacker, I suppose.

I’m the wrong guy to ask. Try contacting the author, Peter Hertzmann, through his website. If you want, you can also order the book from Amazon.com.
