Let's Be Fruity/ James Parker


James Parker is an exceptional artist for creating fruit and vegies garnishes. He came up with the idea of Veggy Art which emerged as Parker saw busy chefs sturggling to put finishing touches. Therefore, Veggy Art was launched as a "ready-to-use" garnish company where finishing touches are as important as the food itself. From Veggy Art's beginning, Parker has given demonstrations, given classes, and sold garnishes  all over the country. He has been cooking for The White House, Bloomingdale's The U.S. Marine Corps, Penn College, and Dean and Deluca to name a few. His culinary career began while attending the Pennsylvania College of Technology, where he graduated with a Culinary Degree. He earned several medals and awards from creating showpeices which included melon carvings, ice carvings, and tallow wax scupltures. He is frequently featured in The Food Network and is one of the most reknowned and influential garnish cooks in the world.
