Dishes should not only be deliciously prepared, but also beautifully served. Cheerful food will awaken the appetite of even a little child, and edible eco pictures will decorate the table in an original way. If your child is not eating well, serve food in a way that piques his interest. The following ideas are also suitable for an original party and for surprising homemade dishes like this.
Eco-friendly edible work
There will be not one, but several. Dan Cretu is an eco-artist. This person, walking into a grocery store, draws inspiration. Looking at the food, he already imagines what can be made from it. Let's try to reproduce some of the innovator's work. Then they can be placed in the center of the table so that they decorate it for a while, and then just eat.
To make such an edible camera, take:
- a rectangular loaf of white bread;
- Orange;
- lime;
- toothpicks;
- 1 tablespoon of starch;
- half a glass of orange juice;
- small sharp knife.
Cut the zest from the oranges. Put it on the table, place a cutting board on top, on which place the weight. Let the zest lie like this overnight.
Cut out a rectangle of the desired size from the bread. This will be the basis of the apparatus. Place this blank on a long, thin side.
Pour cold orange juice over the starch and stir. Put on fire. While stirring the contents of the container, bring the sauce to a boil. When it cools down, you can start creating. Cut the zest into rectangles. Take one piece at a time, apply to the bread base, pinch with halves of toothpicks.
With this edible camera body styled, get down to the details. Cut a 2 cm circle from the orange along with the zest. Use a knife to mark a circle 1 cm away from the edge. Remove the zest from here so that the edge of the lens turns white.
Attach this part to the camera body with toothpicks. In the same way, you need to attach the lime pieces. Some of them serve as a flash, others will become the basis for the trigger, and still others? for the lever.
Cut the lever itself from the zest. Stick it onto the lime with a toothpick. Here is such an interesting work in eco style.
If you do not plan to make it edible, then you can use a block of wood for the base, not bread. Attach the orange peel to it with super glue.
The next camera is made of cucumber and tomato. The base can also be edible or inedible.
Take:
- Styrofoam;
- sharp knife;
- cucumber;
- a tomato;
- green plasticine;
- toothpicks.
Cut a rectangle out of the foam, cover it with green plasticine. Children will be happy to do this work. It is not necessary for her to spoil the cucumber, you can take the trimmings of its ends, which are still thrown away when preparing the salad. The same goes for tomato. Cut the outermost circle from it. Attach the blanks to the base as shown in the photo.
Orange bike? this is another eco-style work. Details of such an item are attached with small bolts. If suddenly someone wants to then eat the wheels of a bicycle, then it is better to use toothpicks, since they do not oxidize.
Cut the orange in half. Using a knife, cut out a thin circle from one half, and the other as well. The leftover vegetable pieces will also come in handy. Peel them off. Cut some of it into strips, the rest? various circles, including those with jagged edges.
Put all the prepared materials in the right order.
The following work is also edible.
To get such an original food, you need to take:
- elongated pepper? 2 pcs.;
- lime or lemon; toothpicks; knife.
The largest pepper will become the basis of the future motorcycle. Using toothpicks, attach various pieces of thinner pepper to it. From lime or lemon, cut a circle that will become the wheels of the vehicle. The tails from the pepper, together with the cut off crown, will turn into a steering wheel. Pepper scraps will make a comfortable seat.
If you want this eco-style work to be edible, then take sweet peppers. If you do not plan to eat it later, then you can use red hot. The next eco-artist's work is also made from peppers.
It looks like they are tubes of paint. To achieve this effect, you need to cut off a small part from the sharp tips of the pepper, rewind here with a strip of narrow silver tape. You can turn processed cheese into such an edible paint by adding dyes of the desired color to it. Put this mass in a pastry syringe, squeeze it out with such zigzags.
The following eco-friendly work is done from:
- plastic ball;
- pumpkin and sunflower seeds;
- starch paste.
Boil natural starch and water glue. Lubricate the surface of the ball with it, attach the seeds here in the indicated order.
To make it easier to do this work, first mark the foam ball so that you know where you will place the white and where the black pentagons from the seeds. The following eco-works of the artist are inedible, but very interesting. If you don't like ice cream waffles, don't throw them away anyway. You will get an original thing that can decorate a kitchen or dining room.
Place the used lamp inside the waffle cone. But warn your family that this still life is inedible. Where there are small children, such things do not need to be done. Curious kids can try this ice cream by the mouth.
The following still life will help you use the tail and head from a smoked fish.
Place a double-toothed wooden or plastic comb between these parts, and a fish skeleton on a plate will delight connoisseurs of the latest art.
You can finish off your presentation of Dan Cretu's work with original sneakers. If your boyfriend has a sense of humor, you can decorate his shoes with orange peels. Then the sneakers will exude a citrus scent. But first, think about whether he will like such a surprise when he needs to quickly go to work or on business in the morning.
Original food: preparation and decoration for children
Not all children eat with gusto. Help them awaken him. Make the meal interesting and exciting, then they will surely want to eat every drop.
If you want children to fall in love with aspic from fish, cut carrots thinly, turn it into a goldfish. Add this decoration to the aspic when it is still stock.
If you prepare such a dish for an adult, then ginger will become a goldfish.
If the child does not like cucumbers, cut them with a special tool in such thin strips, place them on the plate on which the houses are depicted. Tell your kid that these are beds, then it will be more interesting for him to try the dish.
If a child wakes up hard in the morning, and he needs to go to kindergarten and school, please him with a fun breakfast.
For this dish you will need:
- White bread;
- butter;
- fresh cucumber;
- Orange;
- Apple;
- lettuce leaves;
- legumes;
- a tomato.
Cut off a slice of white bread, spread it with a small layer of butter, sprinkle with grated cheese. Chop the cucumbers into slices, cut each into halves. With these half slices, lay out part of the sandwich in the form of fish scales, the rest of such blanks will become the rays of the sun. And you will make it yourself from a circle of orange.
Separate air and water with a stream of ketchup squeezed onto a plate in a zigzag pattern. Make an octopus out of half a tomato. His eyes will be two circles of cheese, and his legs will be lettuce or arugula. The same greens can turn into the tail of a fish.
If you want the child's breakfast to consist of a boiled egg and a tomato, then cut a half of this vegetable, combine it with the egg with a toothpick. Garnish with a sprig of parsley.
It remains to make dots from sour cream, and the picturesque mushroom is ready. You can also serve an egg for breakfast in a different way, making a small cut at the top with a knife, inserting a piece of carrot, cut in a zigzag manner, as if it were a comb. The small triangle of this vegetable will become the cock's beak.
Children will also enjoy the following original breakfast.
Cut off the tops of the boiled eggs. Remove the yolks, crush them with a fork and mix with finely grated cheese. Add a little sour cream, stir. Place the minced meat in large egg halves and cover with the small ones.
If you want your child to eat vegetables, serve this common dish in an unusual way.
To make an edible owl, you will need:
- small fresh carrots;
- Bell pepper;
- fresh cucumber;
- cherry tomatoes;
- two round gravy boats;
- sour cream or homemade mayonnaise or other sauce.
Chop the cucumber thinly, lay it out in the form of the body of an owl. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red pepper chunks on the right and left. The wings are also ready. The paws will be carrots, like the top of the owl's head.
Place two dark round gravy boats in place of her eyes. Place sour cream or other light sauce inside. The halves of the tomatoes will become the pupils.
The food for the children is presented in this way and looks very exciting. If you're serving fruit, you can also serve an owl with it.
Turn pineapple pieces into its body, and juicy strawberries will become wings. Make an owl's head and legs from grapes. Instead of eyes, put two round molds, pour custard milk cream or other sweet sauce here. The child will be able to dip pieces of fruit, berries in it and eat them.
If you decide what to cook your beloved child for lunch, but he does not eat well, then make a fun meal.
- Does the kid not like beet meatballs? And you form them in the form of small bright balls and put them on the bottom of the dish. This will be the neck of the pig.
- Make her face out of bread. To do this, first take a rectangular piece, round it with a knife. The nose is done in the same way, but it is smaller. Draw the nostrils on the patch with a knife.
- To pin your nose to your face, join the two slices of bread using butter. The eyes will be scrambled eggs from two quail eggs.
- A semicircular piece of red pepper will turn into your mouth, and spiral pasta will become hair.
You can tint the pupils with blue food coloring. Be sure to read the instructions to see if it is harmful to children. All that remains is to cut the ears out of the bread, put the peas in the form of a decoration on the neck, and you can serve all this splendor on a dish sent by lettuce leaves.
Spaghetti is also great for hair. Brush them with tomato paste, place around a round slice of bread. It is difficult to resist not to taste this dish.
By the way, you can make a nest from boiled spaghetti, put chickens from eggs, which we learned to make a little earlier, in it.
The child will certainly love the cutlets; fun food will also help. Form a nest from the spaghetti, and turn the cutlets into two chicks, adding eyes and a nose to them.
By the way, you can quickly transform a cutlet into a funny face, make eyes from a pea, and a nose from cherry. The pasta will become the doll's hair, and the peas will become the doll's beads.
The child will enthusiastically eat dried fruit soup with rice, if you arrange this dish correctly. Pour the starchy jelly into a bowl and form the head and legs of a polar bear from the rice. Tell your child that there is an urgent need to rescue this drowning Antarctic dweller.
The kid will work with a spoon with a vengeance.
You can make a base of meat by preparing a sauce for your child. This sauce also goes well with rice.
The theme of food, its unusual design can be continued endlessly. But it's time to wrap up.
Cheerful food - features of preparation and decoration
Surprise your friends with unusual vegetables and fruits. Tell them that you crossed a cucumber with a banana. To do this, use a clerical knife to cut the top of the cucumber from three sides to about the middle. Take out the pulp from this side. Insert a banana into the resulting pocket, peel it a little. Match the banana peel with the remaining cucumber peel.
Cut the orange in half, and prepare the tomato in the same way. Place the orange slice on the tomato slice, matching them. If someone approaches the vase to take an orange, they will be very surprised that its other half is tomato.
Why don't the eggshells turn purple? The third still life is in this style. Take a small rounded eggplant, cut it unevenly in half, and take out the inside. Break the egg and place it between the two halves.
Adopting this idea, you can serve even a salad in an unusual way.
Prepare shortbread dough or you can buy ready-made non-yeast puff pastry. Cut it into strips, wrap them around the metal cone. Bake the pieces in the oven. Get them out. When cool, fill with salad and garnish with herbs, and top with orange food coloring on the outside.
