Now, not many of us are great with knife skills, but it is something that sets a restaurant chef apart.

Julienne is a kind of cut or technique where the knife is used to cut particular vegetables into thin long strips similar to matchsticks. Some vegetables that can be julienned are carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, potatoes and even ginger. They are best used to make stir fries and salads.
