    “But the recipe said to include a thumb of ginger.”

      They’re talking about the non-dominant hand. Neelix’s way will get those digits chopped off.

        Nelix is not gripping the food near the point of contact with the blade. And holding the blade like that, he’s not speed chopping anything.

        Claw grip’s only really important if you’re working quickly with your gripper near the cutter.

        Clearly, this indicates that only the officers on board had to ensure Nelix’s cooking. He’d never be fast enough to cook for all 150ish crew members.

      True. Your example is what I do. My main concern was the food holding hand.

      Edit: post updated, thanks

      Neelix bullshit his way in the door, but eventually became a decent moral officer/ambassador. Now I wonder about the accuracy of Riker’s portrayal as a chef.

      But then I’d have to rewatch that finale. Let’s assume he knows what he’s doing.

    How to tell if someone worked front-of-house or back-of-house during their struggling actor days.

    But why are you complaining? It might actually improve the flavor.

      And the more fingers he loses, the less likely he’ll be able to cook. You could be on to something.

      I’m sure there’s some good recipes, just don’t count on Neelix to teach good form. Dude lied on his resumé just to hitch a ride.

    Maybe those pics are taken from an episode where he was taking out his feeling on his ingredients.
