So many recipes begin by dicing an onion, so I figured this would be a helpful first video tutorial for the new year.
I remember when I first got interested in cooking (not until my early 20’s) and I had NO CLUE how to dice an onion (or cook anything, for that matter). I regularly felt defeated from the start of pretty much every recipe, and I was determined to sharpen up my knife skills. As soon as I learned how to properly dice an onion, it’s like a whole new culinary world opened up and I felt so much more confident in the kitchen. It really did change my life.
So I genuinely hope this quick (3 min!) video will be helpful to anyone who needs a refresher on how to quickly + safely dice an onion.
A note that moving forward, these 2x monthly video tutorials will be for paid subscribers, but I wanted to make today’s video available to everyone. If you don’t want to miss all my upcoming cooking + gardening video lessons, consider joining as a paid subscriber.
