"The more you understand the ingredients, the better cook you will become."
-Martin Yan

These are common ingredients found in local cuisine. You can find these ingredients readily available in your local supermarket.

Apple Bird

Using a small, sharp knife cut a tiny V-shaped notch from the top of the apple. Continue making notches, a little larger each time than the previous cut. Continue until down to the lower front edge of the apple. Repeat procedure on the sides of the apple. Flare each section up and backward to simulate a bird’s head and wings.
