Chef and Author Danielle Kartes' Must-Have Kitchen Essentials 

The Pro collection by Zwilling J.A. Henckels combines their 280 years of knife-forging experience with the simplistic, yet innovative, design of renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun. An angled bolster helps you cut with enhanced precision, safety and comfort, and encourages a professional pinch grip. The optimized blade shape reduces hand and wrist stress to prevent fatigue with prolonged use. Using Zwilling’s exclusive Sigmaforge process, knives are precision-forged from a single piece of Friodur ice-hardened high-carbon German stainless steel, laser-cut for optimal blade angles and finally polished by hand. This results in a sharper blade with a 57 Rockwell hardness for excellent edge retention and superior resilience. Beautiful, all-new design features an angled bolster that allows the entire length of the blade to be used for chopping, slicing, dicing and more. This unique feature also permits the entire length of the blade to be sharpened from bolster to tip. Dynamic handles feature rounded edges and ultra-ergonomic design to reduce fatigue with extended use. The classic triple-rivet handle has a full tang for impeccable geometry and perfect balance. Exclusive special-formula steel and sturdy polymer handles ensure a lifetime of use. This authentic German chef’s knife is the ultimate, all-purpose knife you’ll use every day. Use it for chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing just about any ingredient. Lifetime warranty. Made in Germany.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Chef's Knife Review with Chef and Author Danielle Kartes

Danielle Kartes is the co-founder of Rustic Joyful Food, a boutique lifestyle, food, and photography company, and the co-founder of Florescence Grapefruit & Pomelo Vodka. Welcoming everyone into her life-loving, fuss-free, people-centered kitchen, Danielle’s passion is to help people connect through beautiful, nourishing food. She feels that “to feed someone is to love someone.” However, her culinary success began at a low point in 2012 when the restaurant she co-owned with her husband closed its doors. 

With a new baby and a lot of faith, Danielle immersed herself in cooking, finding healing and joy as she created new recipes and simple, wholesome foods for her family and friends. This led to the launch of Rustic Joyful Food, a company co-founded with her photographer husband Mike. Her career skyrocketed when a friend invited her to do a magazine cover shoot in 2013, launching her into spots on local TV shows as a culinary contributor. Since then, Danielle has shared her recipes and winsome cooking advice on the Rachael Ray Show, Hallmark Home & Family, and the Pickler and Ben Show. She is a regular culinary contributor on the Kelly Clarkson Show, a popular speaker, workshop presenter, and the author of thirteen books plus a memoir coming out next year. 

Danielle also enjoys sharing what she’s learned with other cooks and entrepreneurs, and part of that is to enjoy the moment, right where you are with what you have. Passionate about her faith, family, and food, Danielle spends her free time gardening, birdwatching, thrift shopping, and hanging out at the beach with her husband and two sons.
