Comments about this carving DVD:

"Chef Ray has a gift for teaching this art form that enhances the foodservice/hospitality value to their customers. The DVD permits both beginners and pros to master an art that helps separate their businesses from the competition. Chef Ray has helped hundreds of caterers to move to the next level when it comes to food display. Having the DVD is like having Chef Ray in person. I highly recommend it."
Mike Roman, President Catersource

"We followed the CD and were able to create in only about 1 1/2 hours two cantaloupes and a large watermelon the first time, which we thought was great! And we showed off our pieces to clients for the next week. We are going to be in a competition at the end of February and we will definitely be doing carvings to highlight our products and services. Thanks."
David and Jan

"The CD contains many beautiful carvings, that I consider a big bonus, because I was only expecting the How To section! You are truly an artist!"

"Chef Ray, I really need to compliment you on your talents and for sharing them with everyone. You have magical hands. I can not describe with words how beautiful it is what you're doing with food."

"The course you taught at Catersource 2004 in Vegas last week was nothing short of phenomenal. I'm so glad I had the chance to be there. I can't believe what I learned from you in such a short period of time. Your carvings on your CD are breathtaking!!!"

With the recent resurgence of culinary artistry including fruit and vegetable carving, chefs are left to ponder whether or not to upgrade their skills or surround themselves with the necessary talented staff.

Culinary artistry gives the food service professional a chance to accomplish several goals:

Immediate positive feedback
Future business marketing
Great knife skills training for the staff
An avenue to make you stand out from the rest of the crowd
Additional revenue streams

With the abundance of teachers, books, dvd’s, and online resources, chefs have a variety of skill enhancement opportunities. The sheer joy of creating something eye appealing is something that cannot be measured!

With the recent decision of the American Culinary Federation to include fruit and vegetable carving as a competition category, this genre of art and skill will only continue to grow in popularity and stature.

So sit down, dust off your tools, grab some produce and start creating!
