Their tractor stalled, but, all of the sudden, the neighborhood weird garden lady popped out of the bushes and crammed sorrel and foxgloves and dandelions and other plants into the tractor. It roared to life, and she saved the day. I still love that story, though I can't remember the author (Margaret Mahy?). Anyway, the idea of the power in flowers has stuck. In recent years, I have been learning more about edibles and how to grow them on balconies and small plots. Hopefully, in a few weeks, I will be moving into a new place with a real yard. My dream is to transform the front lawn into an herb and flower garden and, who knows, maybe become the neighborhood's weird garden lady! I would love to get this book to think about what to plant there and how to use it!<br />Alison S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-30414695706417379962014-07-08T12:22:22.284-04:002014-07-08T12:22:22.284-04:00I (am a little ashamed to say) only discovered the...I (am a little ashamed to say) only discovered the wide variety of edible flowers when I started community gardening last year. Of course, I knew SOME flowers were edible...but it had not occurred to me so many were. I was so happy to find your Lilac scone recipe (I made the rhubarb curd...delicious!) but it was way past Lilac season so that recipe will definitely have to be made next spring. So, in the spirit of learning about just how much of the wonderful plants around us are not only food for the eyes, but ...well,... food!...I am pretty sure I will buy this book if I do not win it.

This was my first trip to Ireland, a dream long coming. Tara is such a magical place; the scones were appropriate.

My mother is very creative and my father was a successful musician. We lived in the country and grew alot of our own food. My mother always added flowers to salads, desserts and virtually everything when they were in season. Once, we even made dandelion wine. We would draw or paint and she would cook and then we would help her set the table and make things pretty.<br />My mother doesn't cook much anymore, now that my dad is no longer with us. I would love to surprise her with these new recipes to bring back some beautiful mutual memories of when we were all still together and perhaps even rekindle her creative spirit.

We would go to our family cottage and spent the summer there with no TV but the lake, the sun, the woods. <br /><br />My mother would mostly let us play outside and come back for lunch and dinner, but she also would sometimes give us "missions". For example, to come back with a flower bouquet in which we know the name of all the flowers (helped by her and the books). One time, we made liquor for the adults from 5 different kinds of berries. We made cornbread muffin with cattail. <br /><br />I remember also the time where the roses were blooming, we tried rose jelly.<br /><br /><br />To win this book would take me back to going outside in summer to explore and try new things.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180347713963989291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-71113116863704212012013-07-16T03:17:01.381-04:002013-07-16T03:17:01.381-04:00I would love to win a copy of your book!

They feed and nourish my soul. They inspire me to create visually and edibley. Perhaps that is one and the same! A simple salad with lovely blue borage flowers encircling yellow and orange nasturtiums with tiny flecks of wood sorrel and even little mustard flowers becomes an elegant main dish. There are so many flowers growing in my unkempt lawn and just beyond in the untamed lot. A palette of that needs a simple canvas of porcelain or pottery. A cookbook of edible flowers would be a delight.Vervacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341842133770616067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-15444800551193516312013-07-15T20:34:45.968-04:002013-07-15T20:34:45.968-04:00I've always been a little afraid to use flower...I've always been a little afraid to use flowers in cooking because I wasn't sure what to do with them.
