I hope you enjoy the lovely photos and journey in these past blog posts.

When we go to my in-laws for dinner, sometimes my husband’s mum will ask if we want panna cotta for dessert. I always, every time say “yes please!”

I actually remember the first time I ever tried strawberries dipped in melted chocolate. I was catching up with a friend at her house when she produced a punnet of strawberries, a bar of chocolate and a fondue set.

Borage, what a star. This little edible flower is friend to bees and human flower eaters alike. Because of its pretty shape, bright blue colour and light cucumber flavour it works with sweet and savoury dishes and looks great in drinks.

Roast veggies has to be one of my favourite dishes and even more so when some of the ingredients come from your own garden. Home grown onions and edible flowers from the radishes, yes!

Who would have thought that such a sweet looking little flower could have so much flavour? Well it does. Loved by bees and flora eating folk, chive flowers are pleasing in so many ways.

If there ever was a photogenic edible flower, its the rocket flower. Usually we don't get to see them unless the rocket plant is allowed to go to flower so it feels like you're let in on a lovely secret.
