Cooking with Edible Flowers

edibleflowers.jpg

I recently snapped up some edible flowers at a Farmer's Market, and a friend and I used them to decorate these vanilla-and-lemon cupcakes we baked together. It was my first time using edible flowers in my own cooking (though I've enjoyed the occasional smattering of nasturtiums thrown into a salad) and now I'm hooked. Here are a few edible flower-related links I've come across in my recipe searches, in case you want to give it a try yourself.

• Making the Most of Edible Flowers - Link.
• Beyond Blossoms blog - Link.
• Edible Flower Dos and Don'ts - Link.
• Edible Flowers on Wikipedia - Link.
• Edible Flower Flavor Chart - Link.

Just make sure that the flowers that you pick for ingredients are free from harmful chemicals, a friend of mine who works as a West Bremerton floristt has deathly advised me to be vigilant about these things.
