Now, seriously, this is not for amateurs. It's pretty skilled and requires both rhythm and grooviness.
As a general guide for beginners:
Today is Blue's birthday party, with many (but NOT ALL) of her favourite bipeds foregathering to wish her a happy first decade. Sadly, Blue can't cook, so it's up to me to prepare the dinner. We're having lasagna. So - I grasp my trusty 12" Global and prepare to chop, fry and simmer a delicious meat ragu into existence. To help me along the way, I select my favourite cheesy radio station (no, I will not tell you which one it is) and sure enough before long they're playing Earth, Wind and Fire. Perfect. Chop chop chop, shimmy shimmy shimmy, chop chop chop. Because I am both experienced and oh so hip, I can chop while shimmying, but it is DANGEROUS. That knife is sharp. But so are my dancing skills. Oh yeah.
Needless to say, unless you are Justin Timberlake, this is not a spectator sport, because you'll look like a bloody idiot. However, unless I'm very much mistaken you will be cooking with a big grin on your face, and I'll be blowed if that happiness doesn't transfer itself into the taste of the food. So bear that in mind the next time you're cooking. Add a little wiggle, a secret shimmy, into the mix and see if you can't taste the difference.
Happy Birthday Blue!
NB: Never dance while operating hot liquids. That's just stupid.
