Gourmet Crochet – A Yummy Yarn Cookbook
Written by Christen Haden & Mariarosa Sala
2010 by Ivy Press Limited
Crochet a sweet treat, a little snack, or even a cheese plate and wine. These tiny amigurumi patterns are a great addition to a pretend kitchen or for imaginative play. Store the fruit in a basket, the dim sum in a Chinese take-out box, and the veggies and dip on a serving platter.
The majority of the fruit and vegetables are made with cotton yarn, but they could be made of wool as well. They use such a tiny amount of yarn to create, they’re the perfect project to use up your yarn odds and ends and whip up some fun faux food.
Written by UK authors, the patterns use standard US crochet terms. They include a small bit of basic instruction for the simple stitches used in the book. Also provided are instructions for the easy embroidery stitches and beading used to finish the pieces. Previous amigurumi experience will be helpful, but a beginner could tackle these as well with a little patience.
The amigurumi patterns include in the Gourmet Crochet book include:

An apple (whole and slice), strawberry (whole and slice), pineapple, orange segment and slice, starfruit slice, peach slice, kiwi slice, persimmon slice, and watermelon slice

This is too adorable. I wish I had the patience for crochet because these are amazing. I love the crochet sushi pieces!
We have some felt food that my preschooler loves! I know she’d have so much fun playing with this crocheted food.
Even the crochets look good enough to eat. That is one creative book there. I could get on board with this.
These are totally awesome and so adorable! I would love to see children use crocheted items in play kitchens instead of the fake plastic food sold in stores.
This is so cool! I mean, I always thought crochet projects were mostly doilies, table runners, throws, beanie hats and infant shoes. But this is just awesome! I love it! Sharing this post with my sister too.
Ahh, these designs are super impressive. I bet finding a neat new pattern to work on would be amazing.
I definitely have to share this with my Sister. She has been doing a lot of crocheting lately. These are so cute, I know she will want to make some.
Wow these are amazing! I would love to learn how to make these!!
Awww! I love this! These are so darn cute! I want to make some! How fun!
These are awesome. My granddaughter has yarn food she plays with and she loves it.
This is so neat! I have never seen these type of crafts before but they look amazing.
How fun is this?? I need to show this to my crocheting friends!!!!!!!
Amiguri is such a fun craft. I don’t know how to do it, but one of my friends does it and is always making cute creations like these.
I never knew you could crochet food, it all looks so neat. This is something that I would love to learn how to do.
Well, that’s neat. I’ve seen lots of amigurumi before – monsters and dogs and what not. I’ve never seen food amigurumi before. I love it!
That’s so cool! I’ve never seen food amigurumi before. That’s really neat. I have to show this to my mom.
