Why the Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife is my last chef's knife

I still, remember the moment I cut something for the first time using a really sharp knife. The Wusthof Classic 8-inch chef’s knife was a wedding gift I got almost 15 years ago. I sliced tomato with it while preparing a BLT sandwich and lo and behold: There was no squishing involved and the tomato, though now separated in two, maintained its structural integrity. That’s when I understood why chefs and food writers are always campaigning against dull blades. In the years since, I’ve used a host of different knives while cooking dinners for my family, making cookies for events and testing recipes for two cookbooks I’ve written. And one thing I’ve discovered is that, in a pinch, I could always make do with just one good knife:

Wustohf Classic Chef’s Knife

It’s versatile enough to carve up a pineapple for a summer barbecue and make quick work of a handful of fresh herbs from our garden. It’s the knife I keep reaching for again and again, even as my collection has grown.

Worldwise: Pastry Chef Cathrine Nilsen’s Favorite Things—In and Out of the Kitchen

Key Take Away

Nilsen, 45, was smitten with baking from a young age, thanks to a mother who regularly made-from-scratch desserts at home. In the kitchen, Nilsen’s earliest memories are of “my mom letting me lick off the leftovers from her bowl.” When she was 16, Nilsen helped out at a bakery, the experience leaving her even more hooked on sweets and inspired to attend pastry school in Denmark.

At Britannia Hotel, Nilsen’s passion for pastry translates to such creations as an ethereal omelette norvégienne—the Scandinavian version of Baked Alaska—or the potet, a melange of marzipan, vanilla cream, sponge cake, and raspberries

Prior to Britannia Hotel, Nilsen, a former member of the Norwegian National Pastry team, worked at the high-end Hotel Continental in Oslo and Hotel D’Angleterre in Copenhagen

Robot chef arms trained to make delicious omelettes

Key Take Away

Roboticists, from the University of Cambridge in collaboration with domestic appliance company Beko, used machine learning to train the robot to cook to the necessary level, a matter of subjective choice.

Teaching a robot to prepare and cook food is a challenging task since it must deal with complex problems in robot manipulation, computer vision, sensing, and human-robot interaction, and produce a consistent end product. The results show that machine learning can be used to obtain quantifiable improvements in food optimization
