Reply:I agree with the answer lavender. you can also make gorgeous biscuits using fine flour, icing sugar, lavender and butter.


I love using capers in some savoury dishes, which I guess still count, even if they are only part of the flower. And I use saffron stamens in sweet and savoury dishes.


If you can get hold of unsprayed rose petals of the highly scented kind (maybe something like some of the 'david austen' roses, or a myrrh/tea scented old rose, the petals can give icecream, cakes and even drinks a delicious flavour (some taste like turkish delight - yum, yum!)

Reply:I don't know what a Johnny-Jump-up is, but I like rosepetals. You can put them in tea, make jam out of them (yes, really!) or add to Indian and Pakistani sauces, float them in bowls of cold soup and use them to make sweets. Rosewater is used to flavour many Indian sweets.





Rose petal tea is very calming. If you're sensitive to caffeine, add some dried or fresh rose petals to the blend. They smell wonderful.
