Flowers and herbs are very important part of my cooking. Herbs give flavour and also enhance the freshness of any dishes. Edible flowers are not only that you can eat them but they look very pretty on plates. My cooking are always celebrated with beautiful, edible flowers.
The Edible Flowers
Dandelion, Nasturtium, Pansies, Nutmeg Geranium
Carnation-Dianthus, French Lavender, and Violet.
