For Edible flowers challenge
I illustrated all the edible flowers that came to my mind to create this little rainbow. I hope, in these difficult times, that it will also be seen as a sign of hope for the future. Greetings to all from Italy.

Find this secret garden, hidden in the mountains... All of these flowers promote good health, and taste delicious in a mixed salad. They can also be used for tea, vinegar infusion or a facial steam.

I want all of them in my garden!

I had so much fun researching and creating this chart of Edible Flowers. Hope it will help you to add new colors, flavours and texture to your food!

I love to try new ingredients and edible flowers will definitely be a part of my summer cooking recipes.

Easter and New Year festive tables are more original with edible flowers

Here are a few delectable edible flowers to consider - along with a description of their taste. For the "Edible Flowers" HandPicked Design Challenge.

So many flower garden beauties are completely edible! From peppery nasturtiums to crisp daylily shoots, these flowers will add color and flavor to all your dishes.

Illustrated apple varieties, my top faves! #1 is granny smith, then pink lady, jazz, braeburn, and fuji. They are all so tasty, which is your favorite?

Grow your own edible flowers and use them in your baking for beautiful decorations!

Pansies are an edible flower! For Pansy Shortbread, bake your favorite shortbread cookie recipe and let cool. Brush each cookie with beaten egg white, and top with a freshly picked, pesticide-free pansy (washed and patted dry). Gently flatten a blossom onto the top of each cookie, brush on a bit more egg white, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for 5 more minutes. Welcome Spring!

My entry in the Edible Flowers Handpicked Design Challenge.

Violets can be preserved with sugar and they look indeed delicious on these elaborate pieces of patisserie in French cafés.
The first time I saw the fragile beauty of flowers of capers I was surprised that their buds are actually an essential ingredient for penne alla putanesca!

Edible flowers are everywhere! Some are very familiar, and some are surprising to discover. You might even have some already in your garden without realizing it. Perhaps you'll want to sow seeds and grow your own to add more color and flavor to your cooking!
