Cooking Tip

When you chop nuts or chocolate, do you find that the pieces jump off your cutting board? You can always place the items to be chopped in a plastic bag or kitchen towel, and then whack it with a rolling pin. But what if you don't want to do that?

A few years ago, I read a tip that I've used successfully ever since: use two chef's knives simultaneously to chop. It really works! And if you're wondering what's all over my knives, I'll have you know it's chocolate and butter. Yum.
