The cookbook that I have chosen to complete for the digital exhibit is called “Edible Table Arrangements” written by Carol Brock. Brock published this book in 1981, in hopes of changing the game in relation to table decorations. Carol knew that the standard decoration on a table was a vase of flowers. With her creative mind she decided to start using fruits and vegetables as her choice of decoration. Fruits and vegetables have a wide variety of colours and are different shapes and sizes, so mixing and matching them is quite easy to end up with a colourful and edible table decoration. Even though many people would see this as a waste of food if it were to go uneaten, many farmers in this time had these kinds of resources for no cost. Not only does she have basic recipes in her book, but she also gets advanced and she begins to show how to carve the fruit with a knife to make it look even fancier. This book set the stage for many people beginning to create and even buy table arrangements whether it be real or artificial, it is clear that these remain a popular choice today.
