Jimmy Zhang rocked our foodie world with his knife expertise at the Eclectix culinary carving demonstration on Sunday. The crowd was duly impressed as a carrot became flowers that fell from his fingers like magic. Not to mention the little bird, a pair of intricate butterflies, a white radish rose with their beet juice tinted petal tips. From a cantaloupe grew a multi-layered lily on it’s own pad. For the grand finale, a flowering watermelon, with translucent layers from dark green, white/lime to deep red. Resounding applause ( as well as harmonious ooooh’s and aaahhh’s) followed Jimmy’s every creation and a good, fun & learning time was had by all!

You are an exceptional teacher and I hope I get to take more of your classes!! It was definitely worth making the trip from NYC!! Here are the pics of our class with some videos, as well.

Thank you so much for making the Opera Ball a huge success. Nothing but glowing remarks from the chairwoman, the Ambassador and so many of the guests. Your pieces were so beautiful and added so much to the party. Your work is featured in almost all of the early press pieces. (I’ve attached some links below). I really appreciate all of your artistry, professionalism, flexibility and good humor under very stressful conditions. Please pass along our sincere thanks to your assistants Eddie and Bang-on

Cordially,
Amy
