That's one of the easiest tricks to make food look amazing. If you make the cuts crosswise, perpendicular to the long axis of the vegetable, you can make "hasselback" potatoes - put slices of cheese in between the slices of potato and then bake it. And some versions sprinkle seasonings so they fall down in between the slices. And I once saw a sushi chef cut a cucumber that way and lay it on the plate bent into a graceful curve. He then added other ingredients to turn it into a sleeping dragon.

You can spiral-cut a small piece of meat (like a chunk of a pork filet) and then put anything you want (seasonings, vegetables slices, cheese, etc) into the gaps. Roast it gently and serve with great ceremony.
