Instruction manual
1
The simplest flowers can be cut out of circles. Cut carrots, radishes or beets into circles. Cut the triangles with a sharp knife. Decorate aspic from fish or meat with such flowers.
2
Roses can be cut from tomato. Cut the top and bottom of the vegetable. Use a thin, sharp knife to spiral cut the skin. Roll the resulting spiral in the form of a rose. Set it on a salad, adding leaves from greens or cucumber.
3
Just make lily from a tomato. Make punctures in it to the center at an angle. Next, divide into 2 halves. From one tomato you will get 2 lilies. Make the middle of the flower from olive or pea.
4
Beautiful bells will be made from boiled beets or carrots, fresh or pickled cucumbers. Trim the top of the vegetable so that you get a cone, and trying not to break this shape, cut a thin layer one circle, then the next. Turn the resulting cap with the tip down, put in its middle an oblong piece of a different-colored vegetable, and the bell is ready. Place two or three bells on the dish together or distribute them between the slices of the appetizer.
5
Make daisies from potatoes. Cut both ends of a large tuber into a cone. Cut a small part, trying to make the tips of the petals rounded. In the middle of the chamomile, insert a “button” of carrots.
6
In order to make a dahlia, you will need turnips, beets or radishes. Turn them into a flattened ball. With special recesses of different sizes, cut the petals in symmetrical rows. Gap between the petals with a large oval notch. Repeat this until the end of the dahlia cut. Fix the finished flower on a stick. Then attach greens to the stick and place it on the salad.
7
Cut a vase for vegetable flowers from a pumpkin. To do this, choose a pumpkin smooth on all sides, of a beautiful color. Cut the edges on a pumpkin with a thin knife, similar to the faces on a crystal vase. In some places on the pumpkin, make the recesses a notch, insert in them slices of vegetables of a different color, taken out with the same notch. From the pumpkin, hollow out the pulp with seeds and place a head of cabbage in it, strengthen on it sticks with vegetable flowers and greens of celery, parsley, lettuce. Such a vase will certainly decorate your holiday table.
