Armed with a fine, golden blade, Perth chef Ric Taylor spends hours toiling away at vegetables, turning their rather uninteresting shapes into intricate art.
As part of a series for Perth Now, I spent an afternoon with Ric as he turned spuds into swans and made a rosette from a humble Nadine potato.
But before you throw this in the "too hard" basket, the potato flower Ric is holding here, took less than a minute and requires a Mandolin (no, not the musical kind) and a couple of humble tooth picks.
