Food carving is usually used in grand banquets to complement the theme, enhance the atmosphere, and add interest. It is a rare gem of art created and accumulated by Chinese chefs through thousands of years of labor practice. It holds a special aesthetic status and value in Chinese cuisine, Chinese art, and Chinese culture. This book is a collection of winning works from the "First Qionghua Cup Food Carving Competition," featuring over 100 pieces. It is hoped that it will inspire and help food carving enthusiasts.
