    Extremely well illustrated, comfortable pace and layout, great for beginners
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2008*

This is written from the perspective of someone who has only really started to cook beyond the means of frying eggs and microwaving whatever I could get my hands on over the past year, and realizing how important knife skills are in really becoming an effective cook.For someone who is relatively new to the kitchen, and beginning to work more with an increasing variety of produce, this book is an excellent start.For starters, the photographs are top notch.  Not only are they in beautiful colour and spaciously laid out, but the appropriate (and necessary) steps are photographed, which is not always the case.Even when describing multiple cutting techniques for one single product (e.g. onions, tomatoes), every technique is comfortably laid out over a series of pages, rather than rushed into a more cramped, difficult to read format over fewer pages.The video is well produced, and although I wish I could have seen EVERY technique demonstrated, I understand why it would have been impossible to do so.  Techniques I have found myself using frequently are the ones he demonstrates.  The two I also found most useful are the video on fabricating chicken (no matter how many pictures I look at from a large number of different books, there is no substitute for seeing someone actually doing it), and carving a chicken (which is not described in his book).As you can tell, if all of these techniques sound like "Mickey Mouse" endeavours to you, then this book is certainly NOT for you.  But if the simple task of carving up a chicken and properly dicing an onion has always eluded you, then this book will not only teach you that in magnificent fashion, but so many other skills you didn't know you needed but definitely will.I compared this book to two others, but picked this one for the following reasons:- Knife Skills Illustrated: A User's Manual (Hertzmann) - I just enjoyed the photographs and simpler, more concise and comfortable layout better in Weinstein's book.- Knife Skills: In the Kitchen (Trotter) - lots of big names attached to this book, the pictures are stellar, and the smaller size of the book actually was more appealing to me, as the Weinstein book is a bit on the large side, especially once you open it up and want to lay it down on the kitchen counter as you work.  However, Weinstein is a professional instructor, and I found that his ability to teach (which is what you want out of this book, not the ability to concoct earth shattering recipes - which this leads to, hopefully!) really shines.Plus, the Trotter book did not break down each product into its own section in as much detail, and the smaller format, although appearing easier to handle, did not allow for the more spacious, comfortable, and easier to read layout (especially when you have it on the table while you are working!) that the Weinstein book afforded.Content wise, both are comparable.  Both have a few techniques which the other does not cover, but Weinstein does a better job teaching the ESSENTIAL techniques which you know you will absolutely be using on a regular basis.

    Great for a serious home cook
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2010*

I have been a serious home cook for 30 years, and have developed some pretty reasonable self-taught knife skills, just from the years of cooking.  I don't know that this book would have much to offer a professional cook, but it is pure gold for the self taught.  I bought it a week ago, and embarked on a series of lessons from the book, and my understanding of good knife skills has increased ten fold.  My knives feel much more natural in my hands now, and I have learned to work with my knives, instead of forcing them to do what I want.  The results are great -- not really different than what I achieved before, but more ordered and elegant, and while not faster yet, I can tell that they will be as soon as I get my groove.  This book is easy to follow, well illustrated, and nicely ordered for a home mini-course on better knife skills.

    A must have!
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2011*

I've just started going through this and have not yet viewed the enclosed DVD, but I'm already highly impressed.  The author's depth of knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge to the reader is excellent.  Just scanning the first chapter I have learned a lot.  This, by the way, is from someone who prides himself on being able to produce an edge that slices paper with no effort AND has spend a little time forging his own blades.  (My grandfather and great-grandfather were blacksmiths, and I was privileged to grow up around my grandfather's forge.)  This is a work for any serious cook, professional or amateur.  Knowing how to select and care for knives is a must, and this book provides the needed know-how in a well thought out and easy to follow instructive format.
