Food artist Sarah Lescrauwaet-Beach turns fresh fruit and vegetables into characters, animals, objects, and even inspiring messages.
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that kids are rarely fond of eating their greens. Despite their reticence, fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet, which makes parents come up with creative solutions to get their children to happily eat them. That’s how food artist Sarah Lescrauwaet-Beach came up with an idea—turn these ingredients into characters, animals, objects, and even inspiring messages. Her delicious creations, which she shares on her Edible Food Art For Kids Instagram account, are also a feast for the eyes.
Lescrauwaet-Beach’s adventure in the world of food art began in 2018, with a simple rabbit design. Her food collages not only put a smile on her children’s faces, but also keep them coming back for more. For the artist, food art has also provided her with a way to unwind after work.
