Who Knew Fruits And Vegetables Could Look So Good?

Posted by Editor on 11/18/2009

The thought of eating vegetables like green beans, courgettes (zucchini), runner beans, radishes and leeks probably makes most of you shudder. But then again, you have probably never seen them put together to create the skyline of one of the world's most beautiful cities!

Carl Warner, a world-famous photographer came up with this brilliant idea after he was commissioned by U.K.'s Good Food Channel, to promote healthy eating by inspiring people to incorporate vegetables and fruits into their meals, more imaginatively.

Carl started by creating London's famous House of Parliament Building, using green beans, asparagus and runner beans. He then mixed in some sweet corn to try duplicate the intricatestonework of the iconic building.

The city's giant Ferris Wheel, The London Eye, was constructed using green beans as spokes and cherry tomatoes for pods.

The London Tower Bridge received a yummy makeover with pineapple, shredded wheat, runner beans and celery, while it's biggest tourist attraction, St. Paul's Cathedral received a modern twist with carrots, green and yellow zuchinni and baby leeks. Trees were represented by broccoli spears, making the whole scene look even more authentic.

Carl, who worked with a team of five, said it took them three weeks to craft, construct and compile the entire city. While creating the buildings and other structures was definitely a challenge, the bigger challenge was how to keep these highly perishable items looking fresh for the final shoot.

Judging from the pictures, it sure seems like they surpassed both challenges and may have even convinced us to try a zuchinni - well maybe! To watch a video of how Carl and his team created their masterpice, click on uktv.co.uk/food/item/aid/631850/displayVideo
