Book: Edible Flowers

In this small white handbook, Anemette Olesen has compiled a bouquet of knowledge about delicious flowers that can be safely picked and eaten. The book contains tips and recipes. With the New Nordic Cuisine, Scandinavia has seen a "blossoming" of interest in all wild and cultivated herbs. This has, among other things, meant that many talented chefs have now embraced the use of flowers for decoration and in food, which of course rubs off on all of us. Edible flowers suddenly become important, and many want to know which flowers they can use and for what. In this book, "Edible flowers - a feast for the eyes and the palate," the experienced garden and food writer Anemette Olesen, who more than anyone else is a Danish pioneer in experimenting with the garden's and nature's creations, gives her take on flowers that can be picked and consumed to everyone's delight. Recipes and tips are also provided along the way. Hardcover, 96 pages. Author: Anemette Olesen Illustrations: Kirsten Tind
