Chef's Notes

Take your time caramelizing onions — rushing with high heat gives you color without the real depth of sweetness. If you'd like to go deeper, Knife Skills & Vegetable Cuts covers this in full.

If you'd ever like hands-on guidance for your own kitchen or restaurant, I also offer 1-on-1 coaching through OCS, or you can reach me directly for consulting at 911ChefEric.com.
