Lavender | Kitchen Tips COOKING WITH LAVENDER It’s hard to describe the flavor of lavender – minty, piney, sharp and clean, but with an aroma that is so lovely it’s not soon forgotten. Lavender is not thought of as a culinary herb, but it goes well with many foods. Add a few sprigs of lavender to white wine vinegar and use in salad dressings. Pour a small amount into sauce reductions with pan juices from poultry. When using rosemary, add a bit of lavender, especially when garlic is included. If a recipe calls for mint, try lavender instead. Lavender is delicious in pastries and plain cakes and cookies. Plunge a few sprigs into granulated sugar, and you’ll find yourself using less to sweeten. Lavender enhances the flavor of limes, so I often pair them together in drinks, pies and spreads. Almost any dish can benefit from a bit of Oregano.     We've got several other sites that we're hoping you'll like.
