The video presentation made it more easy to understand the various types of cuts mostly used in cooking and their importance which including; good presentation of dish, the prevention of some pieces of food ingredients from being overcooked while some remain undercooked, chewing is made easier with cutting, flavors are released and well absorbed when cooking and lastly, this also reduce the risk of accident with knives in the kitchen.
After watching the video and learning the proper cutting techniques in the kitchen, I will attempt the following questions given by the teachers;

Research 2 Types of Vegetable Cuts that Have not Been Shared in this Course, Make Them and Accompany the Process with a Photo
I have been able to researched other types of vegetable cuts that wasn't shared in this course and they include:
I. Emincer: this is another pattern of cutting vegetables which means to thinly slice. You can slice onions, fresh pepper, mushrooms and garlic in this format. It is more beautiful when in uniform.
Emincer
II. Heart-shaped cutting: this is mainly for firm ingredient like cucumber. You can create a heart shape for garnishing of dish with the following steps;
Step 1: Wash cucumber and trim the both ends which is the unwanted parts.
Step 2: Place on the chopping board and cut oval shape.
Step 3: slice the oval shape into two from the center.
Step 4: from the left side, flap or turn that part upside down to fit in the other part and it will give you a heart shape for garnishing.
Continue the process depending on how many heart shapes you want.

Hearts made-up of cucumbers are so cute. It really takes my heart. Your publication is really amazing and the way you penned the content is commendable. The dish you prepared and it representation is not only adorable but looks very delicious.
To be honest I cut onion as you show but I didn't know it's name . It know it from your post. Thank you so much for sharing your article. Have a good day.
Same here, I love to slice onions this way for stew and sauce but I didn’t know the name of this particular pattern until today. I discovered the actual name while I was doing research. All thanks to gastronomy team🤗

Que gusto verte participar nuevamente en nuestro curso de gastronomía!
los cortes de bastones y mirepoix están muy bien realizados sin embargo el corte emince tiene un pequeño error y es que se hace con la cebolla a la mitad para que nos queden cortes muy parecidos al tipo pluma, pero del resto todo está muy bien! Los corazones de pepino lucen adorables.
Éxito!
Thank you so much teacher @nehela for your wonderful feedback, the correction for emincer cut is noted. 😊
