  • Seven Reasons to Incorporate Edible Flowers into Menus Image
    Seven Reasons to Incorporate Edible Flowers into Menus January 25, 2018

    The use of edible flowers in culinary dishes and beverages was quite common during the Victorian era in England, as they appreciated them for their flavor and aesthetics. Desserts were “almost always lavishly decorated . . . Cakes often were flavored with rose water and caraway seeds, and candies with lemon verbena, lemon balm and mint. Both fresh and candied edible flowers decorated dessert plates, tea sandwiches, and petits fours . . . nonalcoholic elder-flower beverages ended many a fine meal.”

    Borage Flowers: A Flavorful Burst of Color December 22, 2016

    Flowers represent so many things in our culture. We gather them up to give to a girl we're sweet on, we give them to our teacher on the first day of school, we take a bunch to our mom on Mother's Day, and we carry them to the grave site of someone we've loved and lost as a symbol of our continued commitment to them.
