This book has a color photo of the finished item garnished with illustrations on how to do it and written instructions. There are lots of fun ideas for holidays and special occasions. The cabbage Christmas Tree & Pinapple Christmas Tree are fun. For Easter there are Eggheads, Chicks & Bunnies as well as a Jicama Bunny that you can do. My personal favorite is the Daikon & Pineapple Palm Tree! This is a good book on the basics to get you started creating some fun food decorations.

At first I thought there is no way I can carve a swan, but I just did what he said and voila - I created a beautiful centerpiece on my first attempt. I never fail to get oohs and ahhs over the swans (and other garnishes) I make.
