From Paris to the Philippines, discovering the perfect blade for every chefMy eyes opened to the love of the kitchen when I was working as a waiter in our Philippine restaurant in Paris. I would be in the kitchen waiting for the dishes to be cooked and plated before bringing them out to the hungry diners. Eventually, I moved to the kitchen and helped the cooks there.
That meant an invite to the chef’s home in the outskirts of Paris. He indeed cooked all that we tried, and it was just as good. But there was one thing that stood out to me in that cooking lesson. I was helping in the kitchen and grabbed the chef’s knife to cut some veggies, and I got a stern, “Jamais!” or “Never!” That’s when I realized these chefs treated their knives like their wives. Since then, I became very curious about knives—chef’s knives, to be more specific.
The first set I got was a complete set of Henckels knives, complete with the leather pouch. I loved those German knives. I also got Solingen knives, which were also very nice. Today, I am still obsessed with good knives.
