Food Styling & Food Art

Don't worry, I'm not suggesting that you waste any food by creating art and then not eating it!  You can "plate" some beautiful creations, take photos, then enjoy eating your art!

Start simple:

1. Do you know the story of the star inside the apple?  Read the story together first, then cut the apple through the middle (not from stem to flower, but right through the "equator") to reveal the star within.  Then enjoy eating it together!

2. Do you know how to make an apple swan?  Watch a YouTube video to learn how to do this.
   Search for "How to make an apple swan".
   
3. Search Google Images for "food art for kids".  There are hundreds of fun ideas!

Want to get serious, particularly for teens interested in preparing food?  Do a Google search to see how chefs "plate" foods.
