Not only does Chef A carve fruits, vegetables, cheese and chocolates, he does ice carvings too. Just a couple of days ago, Chef A completed a series of Christmas ice carvings (santa, elf and reindeers) at the front entrance of Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa. Below are some photos. I have included one set of photos that was taken during the day, and another set in the evening. Enjoy!
Just imagine how much work and skills are required to turn a few large blocks of ice into the sculptures you see in the photos above... Amazing, isn't it?
I heard that Chef A has won a number of ice carving competitions, so I went online to see if I could find more information about that. Check out these websites, if you would like to know more:
