Using flowers in the kitchen is quickly growing in popularity, and Frances Bissell’s new book allows readers to move beyond scattering a few nasturtium petals on a salad to enjoy the scents and flavours of both wild and garden flowers such as lavender, elderflower, fennel and roses. Her recipes include the simple – and highly effective – flavouring of basic ingredients that allows the cook to transform their dishes.
