Food sculpture

A patron requested a DVD on food sculpting, but it was not to be found in any library. In turn, I searched on the subject and came up with 7 results in Worldcat.org on the term "Basic Fruit and Vegetable Carving." The patron asked for three (1, 2 a& 7) of the items. One is available in Suffolk, a second from two US libraries, and the third only from a library in Australia.

The neat thing was that, aside from her initial phone call, we communicated via email. Now, if the ILL forms could only be automated ...

Bill showed me a neat book: Play with your food. (1997). Joost Elffers. New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang.
