Edible flowers are eye-catching cooking supplements - you can add them nearly everywhere: From refreshing popsickles and fruity fruit bowls to tasty garlic butter and lollipops!

If I have to pick a flower to eat, it will have to be the Elderflower! For me there’s no flavour that represents Spring more than the one from a good Elderflower cordial - the sweet flavour with the freshness of the lemon is a combination made in heaven! This cake is my all favourite cake (and was also the one chose by Harry and Meghan for their wedding ;) ). Enjoy!

Now updated with edible flower names! Living in California we have a bounty of avocados. We eat them all the time! I was so excited when the avocado toast trend took off and so many people came up with inventive new ways to enjoy one of my favorite breakfasts. I eat avocado toast weekly at home and this is my dream creation - avocado toast with soft boiled eggs, smoked paprika and fresh edible flowers alongside a frothy cappuccino.
