Fantastic Food Decorating

By Manuela Caldirola and Sergio Barzetti

Book Overview

Apples carved into graceful swans, vegetables lovingly shaped into roses, and a watermelon "scalloped" and adorned with carved fleur de lis: every one of these splendid morsels is almost too beautiful to eat! For a special meal that looks as delicious as it tastes, take out the knives, scoops, slicers, and parer and transform the food into art. Instead of everyday carrot curls, cut them into tiny hearts that blossom from watercress stems. Why put out a pat of butter, when you can mold it into wreaths and watering cans filled with flowers? Add ringlets of lemon to a fish dish or to the side of a glass. For a breathtaking centerpiece, form an ice mold embedded with flowers. And, for the finale: a three-tiered cake that looks fresh from the garden with sugar lilies of the valley on the bottom, peach-colored hyacinths in the middle, and classic daisies gathered on top!
