Gitta Radau, culinary artist and creator of Melon as Anything ~ Byron Bay, is carving a niche for herself in our beautiful shire with exquisite and delicate hand carved edible fruit and vegetable sculptures. These can be displayed as centrepieces for weddings and special events. Gitta has been inspired by and has studied this ancient traditional art in exotic Northern Thailand where this fine art was originally presented to Royalty. Recently Gitta completed a workshop with Italian World Champion Thai carving chef, Daniele Baressi. As well as carving delicious, fresh local produce, Gitta has extended her love of art and carving to sculpting organic soap flowers, cheeses and is now available for workshops offering step by step personalised instruction for beginners, seasoned foodies and all lovers of art and craft. Traditional carving knives are also available for purchase. For more information, galleries and publications, please visit www.melonasanything.com or FB page: Melon as Anything – Byron Bay.
