A Variety of Culinary Creations Featuring Edible Flowers

"The yellow leaves of the floures are dried and kept throughout Dutchland against winter, to put into broths, in physicall potions, and for divers other purposes, in such quantity, that in some Grocers or Spice-sellers houses are to be found barrels filled with them, and retailed by the penny more or lesse, in so much that no broths are well made without dried Marigolds."

John Gerard, The Herbal, 1633

Introduction
Calling all macho men. You too can eat flowers and live to tell the tale. My husband (AKA Mr. Meat and Potatoes) has eaten an assortment of edible flowers that I pick fresh from my organic garden in a variety of my original culinary creations. All that's needed to complete this festive meal is a vase of fresh flowers to decorate your table.

My husband and I like to entertain quite often at our house. We host a variety of brunch, lunch and dinner parties throughout the year that we invite our friends and family to. I like to feature foods that incorporate some of the herbs, flowers and vegetables that I have growing in my organic garden. It's particularly inspiring if you invite your guests outdoors into your garden to help you harvest the flowers fresh from the field which will then be featured as part of their meal.
