[Sca-cooks] Essential Knives?

[Chef Christy]

Yup, I like your selections.  A cleaver is nice, depending on the kind of
work you do.   A bird's beak parer is nice if you do a lot of hand work like
cutting strawberries, small veggie cuts, etc.  My MIL was a big one for
never using a cutting board and always cutting with the food in her hands.

What kind of thing does she cook or want to cook?  If this fits it, then
it's a good set. This seems a good general set, although to my taste, I'd
add a cleaver (if she does Chinese style food).

What four kitchen knives do people think essential?  I'm thinking a chef's
knife, a boning knife, a paring knife and a bread knife.  The question comes
from the following.  While visiting my mom I saw that her cutlery was junk.
Per her request
for good cutlery I'm sending her three high end German knives; an 8"
chef's knife, a 6" boning knife and a paring knife.  Bought them for
roughly $1 to $2 a piece at estate and garage sales.  Total at Bed Bath and
Beyond with tax
would ring up roughly  $150, $90, and $40.  Less if any were on
sale.  People look but they don't see.

Do people think that those three plus a bread knife should do?

Daniel
