Bring life, flavour, vibrancy and gorgeous colour to your table
Although widely used in cuisine all over the world, UK fine food devotees are perhaps most familiar with flower garnishes upon Mediterranean dishes: scrumptious starters and/or mouth-watering mains where edible flowers are used to garnish and decorate various foods; to add either a tinge of flavour or maybe something more determined, more unapologetically strident. And it doesn't just stop at starters and mains... garnishing light pasta dishes, salads and desserts can be transformational. All this can add a great deal to a dish's visual appeal, too.
