Photo from Food for Thought

Fellow Foodies Ron & Barrie passed along this link of really cute edible food art. The pictures use vegetables, fruit and other edibles to create animal scenes ranging from floating bok choy fish, to sea-sawing mushrooms, to eggplant penguins, to sheep and much more. In this image of sheep it looks like the sheep have cauliflower bodies, olive heads, and black-eyed pea eyes. I'm not sure what the sheep's legs are made from perhaps they are mushrooms?

I did some research and the images are from a children's book called Food For Thought by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (Arthur A. Levine Books, 2005). While the book is aimed at children, cooks of all ages will enjoy the wonderful images. And if you're looking for some fun centerpieces for a children' s party or even a fun adult party some of these creations would be great! These authors also have a number of other books relating to playing with food including a 2008 Calendar called Playing with Your Food.
