| Hi, I’m Nita Gill.
Because so many people have been asking for more video lessons, I’m thrilled to be able to finally announce that I have a new 11 week online video course available for beginners. I’m calling it Vegetable and Fruit Carving Course 101. With my video course, you will WOW your family, friends and clients by transforming common fruits and vegetables into impressive works of art. When you start making the fruit and vegetable carvings in my course you will be hearing comments like these. “WOW” “Beautiful” “You Made That?” “That is sooo cute” “How fun” “Those aren’t real flowers?” Adults will say “They are just too pretty to eat” Children will say “When can we eat these?” You will definitely get Ooohs and Aaaaahs. You’ll get the creative satisfaction of turning common fruit and vegetables into beautiful garnishes, bouquets, side dishes and centerpieces that you will be proud to display. Once you know some of the basics there is no end to what you can create. Your guests will certainly be impressed when they come for dinner or a party and are greeting by your lovely carvings. And, you’ll be the talk of your community when your guests tell their friends. It’s happened to me time and time again even when I was just beginning and I know it will happen for you, too. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is once you know how. You’ll make your loved ones feel special when your make carvings for them. And, if you have children in your life, you may even find them happily eating more fruits and vegetables. Because I know that Vegetable and Fruit carving Classes can be really hard to find, my intention is to offer you an online video course that comes as close to being a live class as possible. In some ways, it’s better because you always have a front row seat, and you can replay any lesson over at any time. You can learn at your own pace, on your own schedule in the comfort of your own kitchen. I want to save you the time and money that I wasted during my process of learning vegetable and fruit carving by trial and error. I wasted money on so many books that were not as helpful as I thought they would be. Some turned out to have silly projects that were just too childish. Some had great carvings but required tools that I could not find anywhere. Some had lovely carvings but the photos and words didn’t really communicate exactly how to make them. So, many of the lessons ended up being incomprehensible to me. If you’re like me, you’ll learn best by being shown how. So, in my video lessons, I show you and explain, step-by-step how to carve and get great results on your first try. I start with easy projects that you can start making right away without special tools and with ingredients that you probably already have at home. In my 11 week video course, you will have access to a new video each week. My video lessons are structured to build your skills lesson by lesson while giving you the satisfaction of beautiful carvings right away. It’s way more fun to have ‘instant gratification’ than to be frustrated by jumping into lessons that are too advanced and then getting discouraged. In addition to learning how to carve, I also show you common mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to fix or camouflage them. You will learn how to store your carvings so that they look fresh when you display them. And, you will learn how long you can expect your carvings to last. While learning step by step, each step of the way will seem easy. Along the way, you will learn how to use the most versatile and useful fruit carving knives and tools. I’ll recommend the ones that I like the best. And, because these knives and tools are difficult if not impossible to find in stores, I make it easy for you by offering them on my website. For other tools that you can find easily, I’ll make suggestions as to where to get them. So, what’s in the lessons? I’ll show you so that you’ll know if this is for you. We start with carving onion lotus flowers . You’ll learn to make several variations, with several different types of flower centers. You’ll see how you can use them as a garnish, ways that you can use them as part of a meal, and how you can add them in vegetable flower arrangements. |

“Hi Nita
I am so glad that I ordered your DVD. It is the easiest one I have tried so far. I could see clearly how you cut the veg. I have already made an arrangement made from turnips and beets. My family was so proud of me. I am looking forward to other lessons.
I also enjoy the short videos on my e-mail. Thank you so much.”

I attended a Thai Fruit and Vegetable Carving Beginner’sClass inHarbor College but it didn’t include a lesson on how to make roses from beets and turnips. It was from your video that I learned this technique. I love the way you do the Apple bird. Thank you! Your DVD is simple and easy to follow. ~Ana Bertulano
“I used the leek bows at a client reception at a bank. They were so easy to make and I used them more like a crown and placed them on top of fruit carved masks and necklaces made from strung fruit balls. The theme was Mardi Gras and it worked great! Thanks for such an easy addition to a popular theme.”

I made the bunny baskets, very simple, and took them to two events on Easter weekend and they were the hit of the parties!
Garnita’s 1st Watermelon Rose
Then I tried a watermelon rose. It took more concentration than the baskets but I was surprised at how well it turned out.
Today I bought a floral ring to try another watermelon, this time with the corrugated tools. What fun!
Nita, you present the information in a pleasant and relaxing manner which makes learning carving a creative adventure.
Thank you!
See you on your own TV show soon!

Alvin F
Portland, OregonUpon receiving the hearts and roses DVD, I became more interested in Thai carving, So my mother and I were asked to do a dinner for 200 people and I carved some small round watermelon and cantalope flowers and put them by my chocolate fountain dessert table, and everyone was amazed at my work, and I told them I was in the process of learning from a lady, Nita Gill, out of California. I did send Nita pictures of more carvings I did for work and only used a paring knife. With the right tools and time, I will become even more better. Thanks Nita for sharing your gift.

“My cousin had her engagement party last weekend and so my mum and I decided to be adventurous and give it a try. I made the radish flower bouquet and also the leek flower thing. My mum did the rose carving using turnips and beetroot.
I must admit when I started the radish – they did not look as good as yours, however, when I arranged all of it into a bouquet using a potatoe and lettuce leaves to cover the base – it really looked great!
As for the leek – that was a winner and so simple to do.
But I really enjoyed the finished product – it raised a lot attention especially at the hall where all the displays where placed in front main table.
My cousin took photo’s of each centrepiece .
My mum and I are set on a mission to make the best carving dishes!!”

So once again many thanks, and I look forward to your next DVD.

Good Evening Nita: It has been a great experience to work with you. Your approach to fruit and vegetable carving is honest and realistic. I fall someplace between a rank armature and one being able to turn out a decent carving. You have been most helpful and I look forward to improving my garnish and centerpieces following your instructions and recommendations. Like others within your instructional circle I am eagerly awaiting your next video. I have enclosed a photo of my my latest practice melon. I certainly have a long way to go before I’m satisfied but no I’ll improve with the assistance of your new videos. I appreciate the confidence you instill to continually turn out better carvings. Best Regards,

I have enjoyed watching your DVD all day, and even more impressed with your talent. In the past, I’ve looked at several Asian/Thai web sites and their art, and while they are beautiful in their own style, I much prefer your approach.

Thank you for sending me your free video on making radish flowers. It was so simple with the right tools. Who knew?! Let me know when your next lessons are ready.

Easy to follow and great camera work. Be very proud of what you do, and thanks for sharing your knowledge with others.

You did a great job of explaining what you were doing and WHY, which is very important. For instance, you explained that in making the first few cuts of the radish, you don’t go in too deep or the radish will crack. You also explained WHY the radishes need to be placed in ice water.
It was also great that you dropped a radish from the “bouquet” and then said, “Sometimes things like that happen.” Good move leaving that in the video. It’s important.
Sincerely, S. Perkins
