You will definitely get Ooohs and Aaaaahs.
You’ll get the creative satisfaction of turning common fruit and vegetables into beautiful garnishes, bouquets, side dishes and centerpieces that you will be proud to display. Once you know some of the basics there is no end to what you can create.
Your guests will certainly be impressed when they come for dinner or a party and are greeting by your lovely carvings. And, you’ll be the talk of your community when your guests tell their friends. It’s happened to me time and time again even when I was just beginning and I know it will happen for you, too.
You’ll be surprised at how easy it is once you know how.
You’ll make your loved ones feel special when your make carvings for them. And, if you have children in your life, you may even find them happily eating more fruits and vegetables.
Because I know that Vegetable and Fruit carving Classes can be really hard to find, my intention is to offer you an online video course that comes as close to being a live class as possible. In some ways, it’s better because you always have a front row seat, and you can replay any lesson over at any time. You can learn at your own pace, on your own schedule in the comfort of your own kitchen.
I want to save you the time and money that I wasted during my process of learning vegetable and fruit carving by trial and error. I wasted money on so many books that were not as helpful as I thought they would be. Some turned out to have silly projects that were just too childish. Some had great carvings but required tools that I could not find anywhere. Some had lovely carvings but the photos and words didn’t really communicate exactly how to make them. So, many of the lessons ended up being incomprehensible to me.
If you’re like me, you’ll learn best by being shown how. So, in my video lessons, I show you and explain, step-by-step how to carve and get great results on your first try.
“I absolutely loved the different angles of shots. Easy pace and just amazing demonstration!” – Alex Botimer
“I like the way in instruct and then give us time to carve. You give good details and seeing up close helps

I start with easy projects that you can start making right away without special tools and with ingredients that you probably already have at home.
My video lessons are structured to build your skills lesson by lesson while giving you the satisfaction of beautiful carvings right away. It’s way more fun to have ‘instant gratification’ than to be frustrated by jumping into lessons that are too advanced and then getting discouraged.
In addition to learning how to carve, I also show you common mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to fix or camouflage them. You will learn how to store your carvings so that they look fresh when you display them. And, you will learn how long you can expect your carvings to last.
While learning step by step, each step of the way will seem easy.

Along the way, you will learn how to use the most versatile and useful fruit carving knives and tools. I’ll recommend the ones that I like the best. And, because these knives and tools are difficult if not impossible to find in stores, I make it easy for you by offering them on my website. For other tools that you can find easily, I’ll make suggestions as to where to get them.
So, what’s in the lessons? I’ll show you so that you’ll know if this is for you.
We start with carving onion lotus flowers . You’ll learn to make several variations, with several different types of flower centers. You’ll see how you can use them as a garnish, ways that you can use them as part of a meal, and how you can add them in vegetable flower arrangements.

In week 8, you’ll learn how to make pretty spray flowers and fanciful stems using onions and leeks. Leek flowers are great to add to platters as garnishes. And, because they are fast and easy to make, they make great filler flowers for large carving fruit centerpieces. You’ll often see these adding fill and drama to arrangements at vegetable and fruit carving competitions.
