Answer: A fine dice cut

This cut would be used for things like broths. It's important to have each cut uniform and even.
2. What would I be looking for if I asked for a julienne cut?

Answer: Thin strips

This cut is often used for stir fries because vegetables will cook quicker when cut like this.
3. What do I mean by a paysanne cut?

Answer: The natural shape of the vegetable

This cut is usually used for presentational value. Its makes the vegetables look professional and natural. This is a French technique that is often used in classic cuisine.

A paring knife is a small knife that can be used for most things but is usually used in the preparation of vegetables.
5. Which of these knives is long, thin and flimsy?

A fillet knife is used for filleting and skinning fish. It's flimsy so you can easily move it around the back bone of the fish without ruining the flesh.
6. Which of these ingredients would you be likely to chiffonade?

Mirepoix is normally used for stocks and bases of soups. It is a rough cut for vegetables just cooked to extract flavour and taken out later in the cooking process. It therefore doesn't need to be precise.
10. What is the name of the object used to sharpen knives in the kitchen?

Answer: A steel

Every chef should own and regularly use a steel. Knives should be sharpened often.
