A few years ago, I attended a school designed to teach cooking & presentation, and my favorite part of the course was the garnish. We had instructors that could make a watermelon look like a bouquet of roses straight from the garden. So, naturally, when I saw this Jar Jar Binks carved from a jimaca root, I was excited.

Ken posted this amazingly detailed Jar Jar Binks Salad on Cooksden, lamenting that if he had carved any other character from Star Wars, he wouldn’t have wanted to cut into it with a knife. There is a detailed how-to in the article, and no worries, you won’t have to go buy a million different kinds of knives to pull this one off yourself.
