It amazes me what people can create by carving fruit and vegetables out. I'm not very artistic when it comes to carving different kinds of food. Some people can make flowers out of fruits and vegetables. Others can make beautiful baskets out of watermelon. Are you any good at carving fruit or vegetables?

I don't usually carve friut or vegetables, I have only tried it once - and it was definately not as easy as it looked
Before I started I surfed the net to find some instructions and pictures. There were some very beautiful pictures and I remember thinking: "Wow, I wish I was able to do that" I picked a few picures that didn't look too difficult (they even had step by step instructions) and then I started. I had to try many times before I succeeded. I cut my fingers and used lots of vegetables
but after some time I was able to do it, and I was (almost) satisfied with the result.

I like to cook food and more than cooking I like to deocrate it. As you mentioned carving fruits and vegetables are easy if you started to do. For this you need proper knife, most chef use Paring knife. To lear carving start with carving flowers from carrot and later basket of papaya and watermelon, then later start creating your own creating. It does not take time to learn carving. But you have to be careful while using sharp knife.
I like to carve radish, carrot, papaya, pumpking, and how can I forgot watermelon.
I think no one can carve fruits better than Thailand people.
I also enjoy carving Ice.
