Blossom to Plate: Explore the World of Edible Flowers
The preferred garnish of the '70s continues its beautiful comeback. If you were to flip through vintage cookbooks or yellowing past editions of Good Housekeeping, chances are you'd come across a plethora of pretty pictures where fancy, floral garnishes adorned meals, desserts, and appetisers. While they may have fallen out of fashion for a time, like all trends, food movements always come back in style—and it seems edible flowers are the height of culinary sophistication once more. With the power to make any dish or drink look Instagram-worthy, edible flowers are 2024’s most in-demand accessories. Although foraging is proving popular right now, we recommend buying your flowers instead of picking them—at least, until you've done thorough research into which are edible and which are not. Often found at farmer's markets, you can also order then direct to your door—we recommend theedibleflowergarden.co.uk or finefoodspecialist.co.uk. From baking them into biscuits and adorning on icing, placing delicately on frothy cocktails, or as a final flourish on a leafy salad, it's time for your kitchen to bloom. Hello spring.
