Forget what they say about not playing with food - or knives. Certified Executive Chef Ray Duey does both, and the results are unexpected. A turnip turns into a daisy, an eggplant into a leaf, a cantaloupe into a star and a tomato into a rose. This Far Eastern culinary art is spreading from cruise ships to hotels, country clubs, restaurants and homes.

"Why should you pay for a florist when your food can speak for itself?" Ray Duey, the high-profile, in-demand culinary artist is always on the move. Despite never having artistic inclinations as a child, Duey has risen to become one of the premier culinary artists in the US.  He has been featured on the Food Network, invited to create a piece for the White House and is a certified chef through the American Culinary Federation.

Duey, a certified executive chef and member of ACF California Capital Chefs Association, has spent the last two decades developing his skill and creating fruit-and-vegetable carvings for weddings, events, classes and seminars. In 2004, he opened Chef Ray Presents, where he teaches the specialized art form to a wide variety of professionals across the United States. Duey has received numerous awards in national and international competitions. In addition, he is also corporate executive chef at Buffet Euro, San Francisco, CA.

Chef Ray Duey picks up where "The Basics" left off with teaching more advanced carving techniques. He gives in depth instruction on how to create:
  • Apple Turtles
  • Turkeys
  • Swans and Butterflies
  • Garnishes made of Mushrooms
  • Zucchini and Tomatos
  • Fennel Cala Lilies
  • Potato Roses
  • Thai Honeydew Techniques
  • Japanese Watermelon Lantern
  • Honeydew Roses
  • Thai Praline Leaves

...all resulting in an impressive centerpiece using most of the items carved in this program. 

REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review
The Dare to Cook: Food Carving Artistry series is a hands-on, how-to guide to adding an exceptional level of visual beauty to one's culinary creations. Chef Ray Duey hosts all three of these informative volumes packed with tips, tricks, and techniques that food artists of all backgrounds will find invaluable, whether creating a simple, symmetrical layout or an elaborate carving.

All three programs are simply beautiful to watch, and highly recommended for the enjoyment of gourmets and connoisseurs as well as amateur and professional food stylists.

The series consists of "The Basics" covering standard tools and how to handle them as well as vegetable and fruit creations like Banana Dolphin or Pear Porcupine; "Advanced Techniques" with more in-depth instructions and sample creations such as Potato Roses and Japanese Watermelon Lantern; and "Ultimate Creations" packed with nimble-fingered expertise in crafting beautiful items such as Papya Vase, Layered Turnip, and Reversed Watermelon. All three programs of this exceptional series are also available in Blu-Ray and a downloaded version!

pretty good for the price
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Large
pretty darn good for the price. You can tell its cheap when you feel it and look close but its really not bad. Surprisingly it fit very well. (for reference Im 6' 1.5" 180 pounds and everything fit me good, except the pants that were a little baggy and the vest a little short) but for the price its good. Its nice enough you can wear it out and not feel like your wearing a Halloween costume or something.

Perfect for such a special occasion
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium, Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium
I bought this suit for my son's graduation and was very satisfied. It looks elegant and modern, and the fit was excellent. The fabric is comfortable and of good quality—ideal for wearing for several hours. I received many compliments that day. Without a doubt, a very good choice for important and special events.

Feels Tailored, Perfect Fit, Fast Delivery, Zero Complaint
Color: Black, Size: Large
I honestly did not expect this level of quality ordering a suit online, especially on such short notice, but this completely exceeded my expectations. First off, the fit is incredible. The jacket feels like it was tailored specifically for me, it wraps cleanly around the shoulders and arms without being tight, and tapers perfectly at the waist. I still have full range of motion, which is rare for a fitted jacket. The one-button design gives it a modern, sleek look that really stands out. The pants are just as impressive. They fit perfectly, not too tight, not too loose, with a clean, straight fall that looks amazing with dress shoes. The length is spot on, and the overall structure makes it look very polished. I also appreciate the thoughtful details like secure closures, belt loops, and well-placed pockets. The vest was the cherry on top. It fits clean and adds an extra level of sophistication to the whole outfit. Together, the full set gives a very sharp, put-together look without feeling overdone. What really shocked me was the speed. I ordered this late at night and received it the next morning. That alone would have been impressive, but to combine that kind of delivery with this level of quality is next-level. Overall, this suit looks, feels, and fits far better than I expected at this price point. If you're hesitant about buying a suit online, this is definitely one of those rare cases where it absolutely pays off. Highly recommend.

One piece was true to size and the other wasn’t
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: XX-Large
Looked nice and perhaps decent quality for the price, but one piece fit while the other didn’t, like I forgot which, but either the jacket fit, but the pants were too big or small or vice versa . Had to return it.
