I enjoy taking walks. And whenever I happen to see dog roses, it makes me happy. I can‘t imagine anything more relaxing than sitting in the sand next to a bunch of dog roses and listening to the bees buzzing through the sunshine. On our last vacation we went to Denmark, and there are always lots of dog roses huddled between the dunes. They were brimming with rose hips, which are chock-full with vitamin C, and made remember that we used to collect them and make jam when I was little. So, this recipe is next on my kitchen „play list“, if I manage to find enough rose hips.

Summery, yogurty goodness with a refreshing floral sweetness that’ll have you coming back for more!

I can't wait for May when the fragrance of elderflowers lies in the air and the wild roses begin to bloom! You know Spring has come, and it's time for this deliciously pink jelly made of wild rose petals and elderflowers. A big family favorite!

This rose petal vinegar is super easy to make. It will keep at least a year, although the color is most intense during the first few months. In addition to using it in a vinaigrette, you can add a few drops to your bathwater, soothe bug bites or relieve the pain of sunburn.

Eastern Redbud Smoothie for the Edible Flowers Challenge

This watercolor and digital recipe is inspired by the Eastern Redbud tree right outside my window. This tree's beautiful pink blooms have a light, acidic flavor that lends a floral freshness to a classic strawberry banana smoothie.

I love the beauty of elderflowers and roses – and it's so tempting to preserve their scent by drying the colorful petals or cooking the latter to obtain a fragrant syrup.
