Create n Carve ~ Fruit and Vegetable Event April 2011

Create n Carve  ~ Fruit and Vegetable Event  is now in its 4th Month and I am pleased to announce that the event has returned to be hosted at simply.food for the month of April.
The event  has really picked up over the last few months and more bloggers are taking an avid interest in this wonderful  art. Helen of Fuss free flavours was the guest host of this event during March , a big thankyou to her for supporting this event.You will see the awesome round up very soon on her blog.
 
This event is all about awakening our creativity.Using any fruit or vegetable you can make simple garnishes, salads, make pictures, carve leaves, flowers, cut pretty fruit and veg shapes, carve baskets or animals in fact any type of carving or garnish will be accepted for the event entry.

A plate of food that is colourful and pleasing to the eye can often encourage the fussiest eater to sample it especially children.
You can use cookie cutters, knives, fancy garnish cutters, graters any tool to help you create your piece of art.You may send entries where you have used your garnish or carving on a cooked dish but remember the main emphasis should be to show the carving /creation.
