"Techniques in the culinary arts are the building blocks for everything. I go as far as to say that food multiplied by technique equals dish. Therefore, without good techniques, you're either always going to wing it or be unsure of what to do. But with knowledge of the techniques, you will be a lot more confident."
Chef Jesper Jonsson
