We all know lavender as the soft, sweet and feminine scent used in aromatherapy, air fresheners and fabric softeners but we might not be familiar with its use in the kitchen. The flavour on the palate has a hint of camphor and some bitterness.
Dried lavender buds are often used to make desserts as they carry most of the flavour and essential oils. Those who are more familiar with it can use it in savoury dishes. You can pair lavender with other herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, parsley and marjoram to add flavour to meats like lamb, rabbit and chicken when roasted. You can also use lavender to decorate the top of cakes or cupcakes.
