For more information on The Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn, please see my review.
One of the first things that showed Kathleen Flinn just how excited people could be about learning their way around a kitchen was her knife demonstration as part of a book event in France. As such, it makes sense that she is passionate about sharing knife skills and techniques, as she demonstrates in this video. I must say, I feel stupid that it never occurred to me to cut a zucchini this way:
I have a finished copy of the book, plus this really cool kitchen conversions magnet for one lucky reader and aspiring cook with a US mailing address.

I loved this lesson. I’m such a klutz with a knife and have cut myself many times. My husband tenses every time I pick up a big knife. LOL
I liked the part where she explained how to hold the knife. Wow. How did I never learn that before. Thanks for the sharing the lesson! I already have the book on my Kindle, so won’t enter the giveaway.
I loved the video. She makes it look so easy! I really liked her first book and I’m crossing my fingers to win this one!
I’m not all that great in the kitchen, but I do have good knife skills! Thanks for the giveaway!
Enjoyed the video, particularly since my family tries to keep me from using any kitchen knife without supervision.
Sounds so interesting, perfect for my French home cooking! Thanks for your generous giveaway. Emma
I learned form this clip I have been holding my knife wrong all this time! Who knew! It does work much better holding it the right way.Thank you for offering this book for giveaway. I could learn a lot from this book!
I love these videos! I’ve done O.K. with chopping zucchini, but I am soooo glad to learn that trick with the onion! I could learn a lot from this woman! Thank you for the chance to win a copy of her book.
