WORD OF THE DAY
A chef makes a julienne when she cuts vegetables into thin strips. A recipe might call for a julienne of six carrots.
To make a neat, even julienne, you need a very sharp knife, a cutting board, and some vegetables. When you chop vegetables this way, you julienne them. The word comes from a soup of the same name, which is prepared with thin strips of vegetables garnishing it — in French a potage julienne.
