With the New Year approaching, I'm thinking of Spring. This is a rose from my garden and it looks so beautiful, I just want to eat it! This year I would really like to try something new, cooking with rose petals. When I was younger, my Mom and I brushed up on our Spanish skills by reading the book, Like Water for Chocolate. Little did I know how food oriented it would be! The text in the book is intermittently sprinkled with recipes, recipes that were new and strange at the time. There is a recipe in the book for quail with rose petals. I still haven't eaten quail and while they sound most delicious, I can't stop thinking of the mother quail running across the road with her little quail babies trailing behind her! But you never know. I have tried a cake with rose petals and that was great, but I still haven't experienced a tasty, rose essence in food yet.
Does you have a delicious recipe that utilizes rose petals?
Hi Sunny Side Up Salty Sour Sweet! Thanks for finding my blog! The only rose petals I've eaten are the ones made of frosting on a cake, but I'd be willing to try. I have roses in the yard and if I can keep the Japanese beetles from eating them first I may try some this year! I do know Nasturtium petals are good in salads. They are one of my favorite annuals.
ReplyDeleteI like food so I'll be back to learn about more tasty treats.
