Accidental Food Art

Alice Cook, Accidental Food Art

When I was a child I would often "play" with my food that was left on the plate and I would call it "food art."  I made faces, sail boats, abstract designs and etc.  I was expressing my creativity through the medium of food.  When I was older I found a book called, Food Art, and realized that I was not alone in making art from food.  It has been many years since I made food art, but yesterday I accidentally made a face out of my food.  I did not arrange it myself, but staring at the plate I saw a face and hence photographed it (see photo).  Enjoy!
