One of our most popular categories here at Fine Food Specialist is our incredible array of gorgeous edible flowers, our customers have used them for a huge selection of fabulous dishes. They're delicate, versatile and floral. They prove to be a fantastic way to provide a real colour boost to recipes and are a sure-fire way to create a memorable food offering for any event.
Food served to guests as they're starting to mingle should incite conversation and provide everyone with some kind of common ground to meet on, there's no better common ground than a food based common ground!
It's Summer, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining and the flowers are truly in bloom. Naturally, this can only mean one thing, it's time to eat all the flowers you can (and definitely not the ones you can't).
The way in which we view and consume food is constantly shifting, many are moving into a 'live to eat' ethos, as opposed to an 'eating to live'. The more food-obsessed among us are always looking for new and interesting ways to add excitement to our mealtimes. We spend hours over hot stoves or peering into glowing ovens, we're always on the hunt for that next big food trend, hoping to be ahead of the curve and part of the foodie movement.
With this in mind, I have compiled a list of some of the most exquisite ingredients that I've had the pleasure of sampling over the last few years. These 'fantastic five' - as I'm coining them henceforth - are not only delicious, but they're fascinating too, because for me, food is about conversation just as much as it is about flavour.
