It's in Markham's _The English Housewife_.  If you have Best's edition 
it is on p. 66.  It's in the cookery section, #18 "The making of 
strange sallats" and #19, "Sallats for show only".  #18 describes 
making flowers from vegetables and flower parts.  #19 includes "carrot 
roots of sundry colours well boiled, and cut out into many shapes and 
proportions, as some into knots, some in the manner of scutcheons and 
arms, some like birds, and some like wild beasts, according to the art 
and cunning of the workman..."  These are seasoned with "vinegar, oil, 
and a little pepper."
