Dear Cchiu:

I love edible flowers! They are the best decoration for many dishes.

My most favorite ones are:

Nasturtiums (they are prolific)
Pansies
Violets
Lavender
Lemon rose geranium leaves and flowers as garni
Johnny Jump-ups
Rose petals (rose petal sorbet is one of my favorites)
Calendula petals
Chamomile blossoms

Bon Appetit

:)

Dear CC:

If my memory serves me well, in Greece we used to stuff them but also eat them fried in olive oil.(What else?)
