2016-10-19 a look at leeks

Cutting leeks for a leeks risotto (creamy italian rice dish) and was amazed by the structures of the leeks and the knife.

so can i come and live with you, eat your food and learn how to see the world as you do? fav. of course

[Mona]

@moonmtn Thanks, I love this knife too. But no, it is not a Santoku. It is a much smaller but wonderful universal kitchen knife. It is made of ice-cured, Japanese damask steel and has different layers of hard and flexible steel, which are folded in a complex process around a hard V-Gold-10 ("gold" meaning quality) steel core. Already in this size extremely expensive. I could never afford a Santoku of this steel quality. (I would rather buy a new lens for this amount of money. ;-)

[Mona]

@pistache Of course, it would be a pleasure, if you drop in! But as mentioned before, I'm probably better in seeing things and picturing them, than in cooking/baking something that really tastes ok.

[Michelle Renee]

Everything about this! FAVORITE!

[Rosie Kind]

Great patterns especially on the knife Fav

[Nova]

Such lovely and interesting patters in this shot and I love the shades of green too. Well done and I'm sure your risotto was yummy too. :)
