Walking through a meadow has always been such a source of delight, but these special wildflowers can nourish our bodies as well as our minds.
They add flavour to salad and soups, can be brewed into teas and tinctures, and add colourful blossoms to salads dishes.

I thought of this drink when toning my face with rose water. The same day I made myself a martini with lavender infused gin, vermouth and dash of rose water. It became my favourite flowery drink.

This wonderfully healthy and beautifully aromatic recipe is one from my grandmother's treasure of recipes. She makes it for us with the banana flowers obtained straight from her garden. This is a classic Kerala ( state in India) dish. It comes from the concept of not wasting any part of the plant and making use of everything. This dish is generally a side dish along with rice. The thoran is packed with nutrients with ample benefits.
