When I was cooking in one of my classes in Thailand one of the Chef’s taught me how to make flowers out of carrots. It was so simple and fun. It’s like arts and crafts with your food! You can use the same simple technique with a daikon, cucumber or any other fruit or vegetable that can be easily squared off. See steps on pictures below.
1. Square off your carrot 
2. Cut an “L” like divot into each corner 
3. All 4 corners cut 
4. In between each of the sides, cut a “V” like shape 
5. See “V” like shape on each side in between the corner cuts 
6. Turn carrot and slice into pieces 
Voila, flowers…aren’t they cute? 
Enjoy!
Garnish you plate with these or serve them on a platter with some dip and listen to your guests go “oouuu and ahhhh” 🙂 .
