Features: Food carving is a culinary activity that uses hard materials such as vegetables, fruits, and soft materials like dough, sugar, and butter as its subjects. With carving tools such as food carving knives, dough sculpting knives, and ice carving knives, it employs techniques such as cutting, shaving, rotating, hollowing, and carving, as well as shaping methods like kneading, rolling, pasting, pressing, and pinching, to create artistic forms from the food materials themselves. It organically combines cooking and art, making culinary works both edible and aesthetically pleasing, and is a unique gem in China's sculptural art garden. The "Teaching and Learning of Food Carving" series primarily features the following characteristics: 1. Pioneering awareness and leading thinking. 2. Novel form, detailed content. 3. Unique techniques, ingenious designs. The book includes both carvings created according to knife techniques and works that follow the natural shapes of the materials. It demonstrates the flexible application of zero-carving whole installations and three-dimensional whole carvings, with highly varied designs. Additionally, it compares and explains the different carving effects achieved by using different materials and techniques.
