Lavender as a culinary herb? Absolutely! Chives, dill, and basil may be more familiar, but lavender has one advantage over all the other herbs standing in the spice rack: versatility. No baker would add chives to shortbread cookies...or dill to chocolate truffles...or basil to an orange chiffon cake. Yet lavender¿s delicate sweetness imparts a fresh, fragrant taste to those very same recipes -- and scores of others. And, when it comes to savory dishes, the multifaceted little purple flower infuses entrees, soups, breads, and appetizers with a mellow yet aromatic bouquet that complements the flavors that surround it.

"Lavender is God's gift to the anxious, the stressed, the depressed, the sleepless. And, it turns out, to the hungry, as Jennifer Vasich's delightful new cookbook makes clear." --Jeannie Ralston, author of The Unlikely Lavender Queen: A Memoir of Unexpected Blossoming
