Food. It's not just for sustenance. Food bridges cultures and cements relationships. It creates lasting memories as friends and families share dining experiences together. Either at home, or abroad, we can revel in a chef's intricate construction as he creates soaring, complex dishes to confound our senses. These visual masterpieces tempt gravity as they seduce our eyes with their form, and our nose with their sensuous aromas. We are astonished at the taste of such glorious beauty. As food is architecture, food is art.
from The Genial Traveler
Here is a series of photographs from the Saugerties Farmers Market where Suntree Perkins was demonstrating the art of carving vegetables this morning. Suntree is a teacher and personal chef who can be reached at thaitimecooking.com
A family that carves together is a happy family
Beautiful Work!

Food bridges cultures and cements relationships. It sure does! Food and dance. I used to work with a group that organized festivals for this very purpose.
