What Is Veggy Art?

Veggy Art is the phrase used when referring to beautiful fruit and vegetable carved centerpieces. Personally, I like using the words "Veggy Art" in place of the word "garnish". The word, "garnish", to me, conjures up images of playful, whimsical, and many times, mediocre food carvings. The ancient and beautiful art of fruit and vegetable carving will gain respect once again. This time under a new name................ Veggy Art!

Company Slogan

Veggy Art's company slogan is, "Fashion For Food". Just as the right fashion makes people look and feel more attractive; Veggy Art can do wonders for you and your event. Need a Veggy Art makeover???

What makes Veggy Art classes different?

First, we start with a quality instructor who has a reputation the world around. James Parker has spent most of his professional career specializing in creating beautiful floral centerpieces out of common fruits and vegetables. He also has years of experience covering every aspect of buffet decorating and creating “show stopping” centerpieces.

Chef Parker has been featured on the Food Network more than any other fruit and vegetable sculptor. He currently holds the title and a Gold Medal from his recent win on the Food Network Challenge, Fantasy Fruit Sculpture REMATCH. Chef Parker also has the ability to ignite a passion for his art in others and teach them skills that usually take years to learn. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Chef Parker is able to translate the ART of carving into language and make understandable what many have taught for centuries only by demonstrating.
