Eat Your Roses..Pansies, Lavender and 49 other Delicious Edible Flowers is written by Denise Schreiber, who’s an adventurous cook and expert horticulturist. It’s a light-hearted guide to the culinary delights of edible flowers that includes 50+ kitchen-tested recipes, plus edible-flower history and proper preparation and handling techniques. According to this review, it’s must-reading for anyone interested in edible flowers.
And The Inspired Gardener: What Makes Us Tick? contains more than 50 garden quotes taken from centuries of writings. The quotes are far-ranging – from Thomas Jefferson to Claude Monet and Chinese Proverbs. Authored by the editors of St. Lynn’s Press, the small colorful book is a great gift book.
Here’s my article on GardenRant about St. Lynn’s Press and its one-of-a-kind editor, Paul Kelly. There you’ll see why he’s uniquely qualified to collect inspiring quotes.
