From the Cooking Class: [Knife Skills](3D) [Subscribe now.](3D) Dear Basic Member, So many knives! Do you ever feel lost wondering if you need a serrated knife or a chef’s knife? A paring knife or a boning knife? Do you worry about cutting your finger when you’re chopping vegetables? In this essential class, I’ll share with you the ins and outs of selecting the right knife for the job, how to hold a knife safely, cutting techniques, and, of course, a few recipes to practice your knife skills! We’ll go over the most common skills you need in the kitchen. Learn how to safely julienne peppers, chop herbs, dice onions, core tomatoes, slice lemon and lime wedges, peel a lemon for snazzy cocktails, and so much more. We’ll also go over the one thing that’s vitally important in knife safety: a few wet paper towels. It’s true, and I’ll tell you why in this class. Knife skills are at the core of creating beautiful meals, getting the most out of your meats and vegetables, and working safely. I’ll share everything you need to feel comfortable and confident with any knife—all in the RecipeLion Cooking Club’s [Knife Skills](3D) streaming-video cooking class with me, Chef Addie Gundry! [Subscribe now.](3D) Our first recipe, [Stuffed Peppers](3D), may not seem like the kind of recipe you would need many knife skills for, but each ingredient requires chopping and it’s a great dish to get you using knives in different ways. While your beef is cooking, use a chef’s knife to dice an onion. Add that to the beef, along with diced tomatoes, corn, and stuffing mixture. While that cooks, chop your cilantro and add it to the pan. (Don’t worry! I’ll show you an easy way to chop the herbs. Fill your peppers with stuffing, top with Parmesan cheese, and bake them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. What a show stopper these are! These are a great way to show off your culinary skills with a delicious dish to serve your guests.  [Subscribe now.]( [Upgrade Now!](  To learn all the skills you need to safely handle knives in the kitchen, watch [Knife Skills](3D), right now—one of many classes in the RecipeLion Cooking Club’s [Library](3D), which is included with your trial!
