On September 25th, Liz Barbour, author of Beautifully Delicious: Cooking with Herbs & Edible Flowers, held a lecture for the Burlington Garden Club of Vermont called COOKING WITH FLOWERS. The lecture was outstanding!
Our time spent with Liz, consisted of slide presentation of my edible gardens and a cooking demonstration and tasting of two recipes featuring herbs and edible flowers. I have already used some of her wonderful recipes from her latest book Beautifully Delicious and I Luv the knife she sold us. Rice cooked with Coconut Milk in special cooking pot; Raw salad with baby arugula, grated beets, butternut squash, red onion and several flower petals; Cauliflower used as pasta in alfredo sauce with roses.
