The Edible Flower Garden

The Edible Flower Garden focuses on plants that perk up recipes and turn a plate into a painting – a dining and visual joy.

If you think these things are only for gourmets or House Beautiful magazine readers, think again. Anyone who picks up this book will be tempted to try to grow and sample at least a few of the over forty varieties of edible flowers she presents.

Our first introduction to edible flowers was at a friends home where they served a salad made of lettuce, spinach, mandarin oranges, nuts and nasturtium flowers. It looked colorful, and tasted delicious.

The photographs in this book are so beautiful you’ll want to start planting right away. Her section on salads presents recipes that look like wildflower meadows.

As with her other books, she has a reference section where she catalogs each variety of flower and how to best grow it. She also gives a myriad of ideas and recipes on how to use each flower in your culinary adventures.

Other books she has authored on edible gardens include: The Edible Herb Garden, The Edible French Garden and Edible Landscaping.
