Vegetable carvings abound but none are as exceptional as the ones pictured here. Eggplants, watermelons, mushrooms and even onions and garlic are turned into edible masterpieces.

The pictures of these stunning vegetable carvings were snapped by a British photographer who goes by the name of Ilian Iliev. The talented photographer has spent the last decade taking artistic pictures of food.
