Video Transcript:

I’m using the Granny Paring knife today. I’m going to be demonstrating how to make some neat little radish florets. Start with a radish, a good size radish, we are going to cut the ends off the radish, just like that. Then were going to go in on each side, we are going to have four sides, we are going to go in about a quarter of inch and slice down to about a quarter of an inch of the radish. Right at the end of the base. We are going to come around and get a part of that part you already cut, come down about a quarter of an inch. It’s starting to fan out. Do this on all four sides of the radish, so it looks like that. These are put into ice water so the ice water helps them to expand out and you get something like this.
