Gallery: Edible Flower Power Recipes ❀

People don't realize you can eat flowers. In fact, the picture above features asparagus, goat cheese, and edible flowers such as calendula, borage, and sage blossoms with orange vinaigrette from the recipe of The Taste Revelation.

In this blog, chefs inspire us to cook beautifully using a wide variety of fresh flowers for flavor and decoration. Fresh squash blossoms can provide a main ingredient for a tempura dish, or may be stuffed and filled with other savory ingredients. While the flowers and leaves of nasturtium make a peppery addition to soups, salads, and pretty spring rolls. There is no limit to the recipes you can create -- either sweet or savory -- using fresh and colorful organic flowers.
