Tastebud Corner

I'm sure we're all famililar with the wonderful benefits of the traditional English garden favourite, the Lavender plant, but lavender is becoming more and more popular within our kitchens, from lavender shortbread to Lavender & white chocolate popcorn and everything inbetween.

Lavender has a distinct herbal edge, similar to rosemary and thyme (it makes a wonderful alternative to either) and is incredibly versatile in savoury dishes. Although, when culinary lavender is infused with cream, sugar, butter or chocolate the delicious dessert possibilities are endless.

So, to save you some time, we have selected some of our absolute favourite lavender recipes.
