A cool (r)esource for aspiring cooks

Anybody who ever feels inept in the kitchen (or has knives they don't know what do with) should check out this remarkable site explaining the best cutting technique for a variety of foods -- chopping demofrom how to hold the knife, or peel, to the most efficient way to end up with pieces of the appropriate size for your purpose, taking into account the texture of the thing being chopped. Most amazing to me are the graphical illustrations, which demonstrate the angles and techniques, as well as how the food in question will look at each stage of the process. Somebody invested some serious time there.
