Once again, L.A.’s top chef, Pamela Salzman shows us how to perfect our skills in the kitchen. Her at-home cooking classes (attended by fashionable folks like designer Jenni Kayne, actress Kristen Bell, and stylist Jessica De Ruiter) are famous for transforming kitchen novices into pros, and as a certified holistic health counselor, she always focuses on the most delicious ways to prepare healthy, locally grown, and seasonally available ingredients. Since Pamela can’t always make house calls, our video series gives us access to some of Pamela’s best tips.  Here she gives The Chalkboard readers an exclusive step-by-step guide to one of a chef’s most essential skills: slicing an onion.
