Would you settle for a pig or a rabbit made from a grape?

In this video, Chef Pépin creates playful “rabbit grape” garnishes. The same technique can be used with olives.

These apple swans are a real crowd pleaser but they do require a bit of practice and skill.

they're such a fun idea for kids. If you can’t find the exact picture, there are tutorials online for making them with lemon wedges, almond slivers for ears and little peppercorns or cloves for eyes. Perfect for a holiday table! Hope you and your grandkids have a great time making them!

I really want to try that apple swan. First test will be to see if my knife is sharp enough!
dont' think that can be done with a butter knife!

I have another video somewhere in the depths of my computer of another chef doing all sorts of knife work with vegies. It is a fascinating work of skill and... a sharp knife.

I play with things like that when I can toss the mistakes into a pot or a pie so nothing really is wasted other than my time.

It definitely takes practice to make all of the cuts about the same thickness, depth, etc…
