"Cooking (and especially baking) with flowers is increasingly trendy, and this is a solid introduction to the topic." - Publishers Weekly
"These chefs see rose petals as a perfect ingredient for a summer berry pavlova, lavender as an enhancement for slow-roasted lamb, geranium as the essence of a sweet sorbet, and marigolds as punctuation for a classic Irish soda bread." - Vogue
