Food (fruit / vegetable) carving and/or decorating?

Nov 06, 2007 by STB Mrs. Smith | Posted in Entertaining

For a miserly dinner that I am putting together, I’d like to get ideas on fruit and vegetable decorating. In other words, kind of like carving, but not very much. More like carving but then making the fruit and or vegetables into little designs like flowers or animals, etc.

Does anyone discern of a good website to visit with how-to’s or maybe just a whole bunch of pretty vivid pictures where I can see some examples I can twin?

decorating with fruit?

Oct 12, 2006 by B V | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

at christmas continually a couple years ago I did cranberry garland and used dried oranges and lemons,, but I used raw cranberries,, should I have dried the cranberries first? also can you think of any other fruits that might be pretty in such garlands? other than just the different citrus fruits?

a positively good way to decorate with fruit is to crystalise is. for example a really mini bunch of grapes or something like that, brushed lightly with egg whites and sprinkled with caster sugar always look grievous. you can also try this with edible flowers, just brush them with the egg white, sprinkle the sugar and leave them over night. they utterly crystalise and actually become hard and crunchy. not to mention they look fantastic for decorations.
most fruits are influential to decorate with. it just depends on how you cut them and arrange them. for inspiration flick through some great cook books and by the skin of one's teeth copy and decorations they've done. it's never usually very difficult.
good luck and god bless

If you are like me and all thumbs then here's a gag I learned when I was working in a fancy restaurant (I had to do fruit displays with big sharp dangerous knives).

1) Get some fruits, grapes or petite berries. Tooth picks are options
2) Buy some oranges, strawberries or other easily slice-able fruit.

Way out one (no toothpicks)
Cut your fruit into nice shapes. I did wedges with the fruit, since I had all kinds of fruits the colors were pretty. I did one row of orange colored fruit, one row of another color fruit and hid a fair nice looking display.

Option Two (toothpicks)
Cut your oranges/fruit into width wise. Take your orange circles and and put cheap berries at the center. You can use the tooth picks to pierce the orange circle and the berry or grape. Sometimes I worn other fruit like a lime (cut in to quarters) or plum (cut in half) and pin the orange circle and the berry/grape. Then I'd align them to look "lyrical". I then used the remaing berries that didn't have oranges to fill in any spaces that looked unclothed.

Any option
Strawberries, well if you can slice the berries length wise, from the tip to the green part, you can have strawberry "petals" and manipulate it to look "pretty".

Also you can just buy the arrangements :P
