You got a tuff assignment there Arron. To the typical Western chef food is something you mainly just cut into slabs and chunks. Look at Jamie Oliver on youtube. His German knives are so inadequate and his knife skills so limited that he rock-chops, at relative snail's pace.Famous as he is, he knows nothing of slicing various veggies <0.5mm, or anything close to it, or what that lends to your culinary effect.
