I had the universe's worst sinus infection and the only thing that worked after like three different courses of antibiotics was raw garlic three times a day

eating it was like thermite but it worked

the convention is that the better at cheffing you get the bigger knives you use for everything, regardless of whether or not a smaller knife would make more sense

Yes. 1) Get a good Chef's Knife. 2) Keep it sharp by honing it every time you are going to use it (use the honing steel) and get it professionally sharpened every 6 months or so. (The cheap sharpeners will ruin your blade.)

Remember: The easiest way to cut yourself is with a dull knife. Sharp knives cut easily so you don't have to use a lot of force, and therefore you have more control. Dull knives require you to exert more effort and thus give up some control.

And if you're just afraid of cutting yourself like my father is, grab a pair of cheap Kevlar gloves. After some practice you won't need them anymore.

Well poo poo, I never owned a knife I sharpened myself before, and any big knife I have seems to have teeth on it. Sharpening your own knife seems a little over the top if being a cook isn't your actual job, but I suppose it makes sense to have a properly sharpened knife to prepare food with.

-buy a decent chef knife, that basically means one with a long tang, and no serations

-sharpen it on a stone sometimes its actually real easy

-only use this knife and use it for everytinh that isnt silverware

knives are like cocks - you want one that's long, thick, heavy, and with a minimum of serration

If you're ever in Stockholm, London or Palma... go here: http://www.garlicandshots.com

You get some people on TripAdvisor moaning about chunks of garlic in their beer, but they're blatantly wrong. The food and drink is good (I didn't actually get to do a garlic beer, but I did that first shot on the menu which was pretty good).

This is how the garlic bread starter comes:



If you can't work out the scale, it's close to half a loaf of bread in my estimation.

Basically you only need one serrated knife in your kit not including steak knives, and then only use it for slicing bread, tomatoes, the occasional pineapple, etc

You need straight edge knives for doing any sort of competent slicing, a 6" chefs knife is good for slicing and dicing, save buying a 10-12" one for when you get good.

Santuku knives are also a great alternative to chefs knives, I use my 7" Victorinox for everything because the shape just makes knifing easier for me

This is good. My chef buddy told me if you slice with the grain you get a mellower flavor, slicing against the grain makes it spicier


Once I had some bomb rear end garlic bread my buddy's Italian grandmother made, she only used the juice from the garlic and added it to clarified butter for the bread

Alternative spanish garlic bread:

Toast a piece of nice, homebaked bread
Take a clove of garlic, and rub it on the toasted bread until the garlic is gone or severely reduced
Now angrily do the same with half a tomato

if you're following a recipe and it calls for garlic, put double what it says and the food will taste better.

Went back to cutting garlic with a knife rather then using the garlic press, I admit it tasted better. Also using more garlic over all, I usually used a clove or two for a meal for two people, it seems the pros use a couple entire bulbs without a second thought.

That is a hazard of working with the element Tellurium. Seriously strong garlic smell and garlic breath, lasting for an extended period. I'm talking up to several years. And so strong that some people with Tellurium breath have ended up killing themselves. Do you work around Tellurium?
