Fruit and Vegetable Carving How To Projects

Fruit and vegetable carving is a part of the Culinary Arts. Fruit and vegetable carving is a tradition that was born a long time ago during the Chinese Tang Dynasty. The popular Thai fruit carving originated in the Royal Thai courts. Food presentation has developed through the centuries. Beautiful vegetable and fruit carvings make great birthday gifts, Mother’s Day, or St. Valentine’s Day gifts. There are different types of carving; the two main ones are skin carving and 3-D carving (when fruits and vegetables are carved into objects that look like real flowers or animals).
