Up until recently, the art of onion dicing was about as clear to me as chowder. I knew there was a correct way to do it, and my method (I tried several) was most certainly NOT it. The mystery was finally unveiled when it was explained to me LIVE in action (more proof that I'm a visual learner) when I joined my friend Jamie at a Cook-Au-Vin cooking class last week. Our instructor, Chef Cecil,
walked us through the basics. If you don't have Chef Cecil, Gordon Ramsey can also teach you how via the powers of the interweb.
