Flower Cookbooks

I have several great flower cookbooks. They all have a wide variety of both sweet and savory recipes; including drinks, main courses, appetizers, and desserts. You could make a flower feast!

The Forgotten Art of Flower Cookery by Leona Woodring Smith
Edible Flowers: From Garden to Palate by Cathy Wilkinson Barash
Edible Flowers: A Kitchen Companion by Kitty Morse

Cherry Blossom Kit Kat

My friend Ral found this amazing limited edition treat on a recent excursion to the Asian market.



Apparently, cherry blossoms are considered lucky in Japanese culture and this Kit Kat bar came out during school entance exams.

Ral sent me a bar, wishing me good luck with my impending move - thx, Ral :)

Btw, the candy is quite good - reminds me of pink birthday cupcakes from childhood.

Floral-flavored Recipes from MS's Living

Welcome to Flower Foods where we'll be posting recipes, resources and more about edible flowers.

Just this month I received my May 2006 issue of Living. Inside, there are at least three beautiful and faery-like dessert recipes featuring violets, rose and orange blossoms.
