About Me
- Expatriate Chef
- When A Wanderer Comes Home to Local Food My resume includes such titles as photojournalist, writer and shark wrangler. There is also a bit of culinary school in the mix. I am as much an activist as I am a cook. But, most of all, I am a mom who is determined to make the world a better place for my child one meal at a time.

although the rocking motion is useful in certain situations (namely finely chopping/mincing garlic, parsley, etc.), in my opinion, it is NOT what the knife is built for as you say. a knife is built for SLICING, not CUTTING or CHOPPING. unless you are mincing, you want to get in the habit of slicing(using a forward or backward motion as your knife goes down), otherwise you won't get to the level of speed and precision of a trained chef.
