Play with Your Food Book

This book is an adventure that lets you carve and slice your way into forbidden territory. Now you have permission to take nature's healthiest foods and make imaginative, often beautiful creatures out of everyday fruits and vegetables. It is a new way of looking and seeing. The play is easy. And so much fun that you'll laugh your way to a totally fresh appreciation of food. It starts at your supermarket or green grocer. You look at the fruits and vegetables with a new eye - an eye now hunting for faces and animals, and creatures within their shapes and contours. You pick up a pepper or potato or radish, turn it around in your hand until - voila - it suggests a camel or a funny face or a mouse. Then you scamper home to play with it. Your creative input may perhaps require a slit for the mouth, peppercorns for eyes, two slices for ears, some stems for legs. Before you know it, you've got your own vegetable zoo. It is all part of the process of broadening your personal vision of the world around you. In making sense of things, we're always searching for correspondences - animals that look like people, gadgets that look like animals, clouds that look like landscapes. This book is full of photos to kick start your imagination - you may never look at your food in the same way again!Read More
