Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. This week we highlight the lovely, fragrant summer herb, lavender!
Lavender may be the quintessential summer herb with its delicate purple flowers and soothing fragrance. It's also quite easy to grow so it's worth trying in your own back yard. It makes for a lovely addition to cocktails, iced tea, cookies, salads, desserts or infusing into sweeteners.
Make sure you use the culinary grade lavender when cooking with it and for more information on lavender and how to use it and grow your own, visit our Spice Box Guide to Lavender.
