I have always liked flowers. I vividly remember when I was about five years old my parents came back from Paris and my mother had purchased sugared flowers from Fauchons. At the time I thought this was one of the coolest things ever. Flowers are an easy way to decorate a dish, use them in a dessert or a salad. In f act, there are a group of flowers that are edible.
Here are a group of edible flowers:
Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Cornflower, Daisy, Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Lavender, Marigold, Nasturtium, Pansy, Peony, Rose, Viola, Violet.
Sugared Flowers
Coat petals with frothy egg whites and then cover with super fine sugar, let dry on a rack
Serious, beautiful and delicious, who would have thought? Adding edible flowers as a garnish is a great substitute for the oh so ordinary greens and herbs that are commonly used by the average chef. This is great tip, very useful for entertaining because you want a dish to look as good as it tastes!!!!
Keep up the good work!
I liked this recipe and look forward to trying it
