Fruit Carving

Fruit Carving is one of the essential service which is used in fine dining restaurants and high class restaurants. basically you pay a whole lot of money just to have your fruits carved. It can either be done at the back of the house (kitchen or pantry) or either it will be a live show in front of the guest.

If you do it at the kitchen/pantry, it is much simpler as you just need to cut the fruits into desired shapes. but if you do it in front of the guest, Hygiene will be a factor, you must entertain the guest while carving, and also cutting sizes and shapes are limited as it is hard to do it with the hygiene factor always present.

So anyways, For this class, we used the "front of the house" fruit carving techniques so it is pretty limited to the styles and shapes we could produce. The fruits we used for the day were Watermelon, Kiwi, Dragon Fruit, Orange, Grape Fruit and Pineapple.

So here goes the pictures:
