Tutorial for vegetable carving.

Do you want to try an art in food? Are you looking for food art tips and techniques that will help along in your plate or buffet presentations?
We would break into a cold sweat if asked to draw a picture in front of a group of people. We would deny any artistic talent, make excuses, and do whatever it took to avoid being on the spot with a pencil in their hand. But ask a couple of five-year-olds to do the same thing, and within seconds they‘ll be drawing, explaining, and creating artistic masterpieces for all to see. So what happens between the age of 5 and us that makes us terrified to draw? What makes us afraid?

Most people think artists have some kind of gift, and suppose that a some artists are born with a talent for art. But, if you looked at the childhood drawings of 100 professional artists, you could find that 99 of them made the same type of scribbles and stick figures that you did as a kid. So we all are gifted the same. It’s the passion and your practice makes you perfect in this.

Wish you could carve?
Here’s the good news: anyone can learn this art if you have a passion on this. Try it, if I can do it any one can do it!! An art in food is an extra spice in enjoying cooking!! Get your carving tools out, because Halloween is on its way, and we are going to do some really spooky ones this year!! The month of the year which, I enjoyed the most with my knives!!

We have used butternut squash here for the carving.

Wow… Hats off to your skills. Awesome
Thank you Ruchi. You too generous in words.
Stunning work. Being able to work in three dimensions to create a piece of art out of a vegetable is beyond a lot of us in spite of your generous encouraging comments. I think I’ll just admire what you’ve accomplished.
Thank you Boleyn, those words meant a lot to me:)

I loved the preface to the carving instructions. It is so true about talent being a lot of practice and perseveration.
Hi writtenlive, thank you for that amazing bunch of words. Butternut squash is bit similar to pumpkin, bit small in size and taste similar. One of the easiest to learn carving.
That is amazing and beautiful.

That’s truly amazing Sumith what a piece of art. I’m not even going to try, but I love looking at it 🙂
Myra, give it a try. You will love it. It’s not so hard as you think.
I bought a carving set in Indonesia once and ended up using it to chop garlic, haha. But ok, you have convinced me, I’ll give it a try.
Myra, with those carving knives you wont chop garlic again I bet!!
Its absolutely stunning and with your brilliant, clear instructions I actually think I might manage it ….
Osyth, thank you. Easily you can manage it. Give it a try and you will enjoy it!!
Since I am currently in Stow MA which is the home of the Butternut Squash (honestly) … it would be rude not to!!
Haha, wish I was there with you. We would have made a castle!!??
As I may have mentioned before, I love squash and pumpkins. But I was not at all prepared for the sheer volume and variety laid out before me since Fall has started. Its wondrous! The Butternut is claimed by Stow though I’m not entirely sure what they base that on. I’m pretty sure they would give you a hero’s welcome if you arrived in town given your artistic prowess with them!
Haha Osyth thanks for the invite. so nice to know about that town.?
Wow Sumith. How kind you are to share these steps. Thank you.
Brigid, thank you. Sharing is caring, more you share more you learn. And it’s great pleasure in me.
This is amazing work, real artwork!
Thank you Izzie:)
How lovely! You are truly talented. I will refer back to this post when I get brave enough to try food carving. As always, everything looks too pretty to eat!
Thank you Suzanne, if I can do it any body can do it. It’s all the matter of a try and you will enjoy it!!

OMG! That is wonderful…I can see how you achieve the result, but don’t think I have the patience to even try doing it…..I will just admire from afar.
Hi herschelian, try it. You can do it!!
Dear Sumith, you remind me of something Michelangelo is supposed to have said: “I just take a piece of marble and eliminate the unnecessary.” You do the same with fruit and vegetables. That’s what what true art is!
Hi Dolly happy to see you back. Those words are too generous. I am over the moon now. Thank you for those amazing words. You are always inspirational!!
You could be over the moon, but please come back to us!
Thanks you. Love you Dolly!!
Goes right back to you and your lovely family!

This is so cool, dear Sumith! Waw! A thing of beauty is a joy forever! xxx
Sophie, nice to see you back. And thanks for the compliment.
Sumith the vegetable carving brings back memories of my school days. Did some simple carving with potatoes. One sister taught me. It is definitely an interesting part of art. Like your step by step pictures. Looks so cool and not so easy. Maybe trying will help one master. Lovely words of encouragement.
Meena
Hi Meena, Thank you for those sweet words. Memories from school days are amazing. Many of our hidden talents should be taken out there. What we missed should not happen to our kids. Recently I got a opportunity to teach these things in my son’s school and really enjoyed with those little kids. It’s easy to do once you try it. Have a nice day. Regards Sumith
Wow!!
Thank you Reshma
You are a true artist, Sumith!
I am down to earth!! Thank you Sandhya for those beautiful words. Respect!!
Inspiring! ?
Thanks a lot Bette.
