50 unexpected recipes
The palette of edible flowers is quite large : nasturtium, violet, wisteria, ornithogale from the Pyrénées… Not only does eating flowers satisfy our aesthetical sense as well as bring a playful touch to our culinary whims, it also happens to be healthy. Indeed, flowers offer many virtues that Amandine Geers and Olivier Degorce describe in their book. They present 24 field and garden flowers to prepare appetizers, salads, soups, main dishes, desserts, drinks and seasonings. For each one, they indicate identification means, the places they grow and when is the season to pick them, the edible parts, their virtues and how to prepare and preserve them. A book that will make our taste buds blossom!
