Delicious Lavender Food Recipes

CheerUp — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 11:30:47 +0000

Check out these 15 lavender made recipes that are so fragrant and yummy that they’re borderline delicacies, if you ask us.

1. Pink lemonade lavender thyme sorbet

In recent years, ice creams, gelatos, and sorbets that combine unique flavours in unconventional ways have been all the rage. We’re pretty big fans of these chilly treats, but we’d never like one before as much as we loved this pink lemonade lavender thyme sorbet from Boulder Locavore! The best part is that you can skip the trip to the ice cream parlour and make as much as you’d like for yourself at home.

2. Lemon and lavender chicken

When you think of lavender recipes do you automatically start picturing sweet dishes and desserts? Then let Pop Sugar remind you that there are plenty of savory entree options out there for you as well! This delicious lemon and lavender chicken idea is just one, but it’s a wonderfully fresh tasting dish that perfectly blends the subtle floral hints with a bit of zest.

3. Grilled leg of lamb with lavender rosemary rub

Do you actually love the idea of cooking a meat entree involving lavender but you eat chicken far too often and kind of want to switch things up? Then try treating your family to a leg of lamb instead! Complement the tender meat with a delicious rub made from rosemary and lavender blended together, just like Joanne Weir did here.

4. Lavender scented summer fruit salad

Have you always loved lavender the most in fruity summer dishes because it reminds you of the fresh breeze on warm air? Then this scrumptious fruit salad that’s both scented and flavoured ever so subtly with lavender is definitely the dish for you. Besides being a healthy start to your day or a nutritious snack, it’s the kind of flavourful dish that just makes any chilly day feel like summer is just around the corner.

5. Edible flower lavender sugar cookies

Sugar cookies are one of our very favourite treats, but we do admit that sometimes we like to switch things up a little when it comes to flavour. Because we do enjoy the original sweet and subtle taste so much though, we like the flavoured version best when the new taste is just a fresh hint of something. That’s exactly what these lovely lavender sugar cookies from Boulder Locavore are like!

6. Peach feta salad with lavender dressing

Are you a huge fan of salads but you’re always on the lookout for new ideas to keep yourself from eating exactly the same thing all the time? Then we have a recipe for you that’s a unique enough combination that’s practically gourmet! Honest Cooking combines lettuce with fresh onion, juicy sliced peaches, and feta cheese, topping the whole delicious thing off with a smattering of fragrant lavender dressing.

7. Honey lavender panna cotta

Panna cotta is another one of those dishes where we’re more than willing to eat it whether it’s the classic original kind of made with some type of unique flavour, but we’d be especially enthusiastic to take a bit out of this delicious lavender version by The Ktchn! As if that weren’t enough, the panna cotta is nestled into the centre of a bed of fresh strawberries, which practically makes our mouths water.

8. Meyer lemon lavender mojitos

If you thought lavender was only a greant ingredient and garnish in foods but not drinks then we’re sorry to tell you that you’ve been missing out! Make up for lost time by making yourself one of the freshest lavender beverages we’ve ever come across: these lemon lavender mojitos from Boulder Locavore.

9. Lavender creme brulee

Just in case you’re still not quite satisfied with the lavender versions of the classic desserts we’ve shown you, here’s another option that we really think you’ll love! Jamie Oliver guides you through the process of making a lavender creme brulee that’s just as sweetly crunchy on the top and creamy in the middle as usual, but with a fresh floral flavour all the way throughout.

10. Peach lavender jam

Have you always loved the way lavender tastes when it’s used in combination with fruits? That’s actually our favourite way to enjoy lavender as well! We’re particularly fond of peaches because they remind us so much of long, hot summer days and they’re also naturally sweet without really needing added sugar. That’s why we’re so in love with this amazing lavender peach jam recipe from Love and Olive Oil!

11. Lavender roasted potatoes

Were you very intrigued by the idea of making a savoury lavender dish but you’d not a big fan the ones you saw already, or perhaps you don’t eat meat? Then let the lavender adorn one of your savoury side dishes instead! Boulder Locavore guides you through the process of making lavender roasted potatoes that give you the perfect combination of subtly sweet and savoury flavours all at once.

12. Lavender simple syrup for cocktails

Are you actually so in love with lavender flavours lately that you wish you could add it to just about anything you make yourself on impulse? Then making your own simple syrup is definitely the best idea for you! It’s also a surprisingly easy process if you follow the steps laid out by About Food. Try adding it to your favourite cocktail!

13. Chocolate lavender fudge with salted caramel top

Perhaps you’re a huge fan of combining different sweet flavours all in one place in new ways that you’ve never tried before? Then you’ll e hard pressed to find one that’s even richer than this delicious fudge recipe. Boulder Locavore shows you how to make a wonderfully chewy, melt-in-your-mouth fudge that combines chocolate, salted caramel, and (you guessed it) lavender!

14. Honey lavender ice cream

Perhaps you’re looking for a cold sweet treat that will remind you of a summer’s day, but your favourite kind of sweetness is subtle and hinted at, rather than rich and overwhelming like some thick homemade ice cream recipes? Then this honey and lavender recipe from Martha Stewart might just be the answer to your cravings!

15. Orange, sage, lemon, and lavender vodka tonic

Do you quite enjoy making yourself a refreshing cocktail after work on a sunny day and enjoying some social time with your friends, but you’re not really a fan of the overly sweet cocktail recipes that you see around so often? Try this more gourmet drink blend from Baker’s Royale that contains orange, sage, lemon, and lavender with a bit of vodka and tonic water. Simple but delicious!

Delicious Foods From Around the World

CheerUp — Fri, 13 May 2016 13:22:01 +0000

France. Travelista Anyone who has spent any time in France will know how much the people of the most romantic nation in the world love their pastries. Almost every storefront window in the City of Love and other French towns and cities is filled with beautiful baked goods like croissants, cakes and choux buns. Start your day like a true Parisian by following this breakfast Brioche Au Chocolate recipe from Buns in my Oven.

USA

Local Milk BlogMany people have said that the USA is like a continent in itself. It would be impossible to count the amount of different customs and cultures which can be found across the 50 states. All of these unique societies come, of course, with their own delicious cuisines. But we’ve decided that the one type of American food which resonates most around the world is good old fashioned Soul Food from the Deep South. Nourish your soul and those of your friends and family by treating them to this buttermilk fried chicken recipe.

China

Gourmet SleuthChina is an ancient land with a rich and magnificent history. This definitely includes their unique and delicious cuisine. One of the best known regional dishes from china’s extensive history is dumplings. These tasty treats date back thousands of years and are now eaten all across East Asia and beyond. Follow this simple recipe for Chinese dumplings and impress your friends with your knowledge of traditional eastern cuisine.

Spain

imgurSpain is world renowned for being a super laid back country with a relaxed attitude to socializing, lifestyle and food. Thanks to the never-ending bright sunshine of this Mediterranean nation, Spanish people have perfected a culture of sitting outside on sunny verandas and sharing multiple plates of tiny pieces of food known as tapas. If you would like to try putting on a tapas spread yourself,? grilled red pepper with garlic dip and champinones al ajillo are two great traditional dishes to include in it.

Brazil

bolsa receitaAside from bright sunshine, constant carnivals, idyllic beaches and rainforests and beautiful people, Brazil also boasts some of the tastiest national dishes around. Is there nothing this country can’t do? Brazilian meals are typically spicy, exotically flavorsome and filled with meat. Farofa is a staple part of the Brazilian diet which consists of fried cassava flour and whatever meat and/or vegetables you’d like to throw in. Find the recipe here.

Jamaica

Camille StylesIt’s hard to imagine a more idyllic tropical island nation than Jamaica. The land of reggae music, rum cocktails and palm trees swaying on pure white beaches is also the land of irresistible local dishes. One of the most iconic foods to come out of this lively isle is jerk chicken. Follow this recipe and serve with rice and peas to get that Caribbean beach feeling.

Turkey

the gouda lifeTreat yourself to some tasty and tantalizing Turkish cuisine and you could be forgiven for thinking you had just wandered onto the sun-soaked, bustling markets of Istanbul. This exotic country specializes in spicy home-cooked dishes and introduced the world to one of the most popular meals of all time; kebabs.

Fiji

Castaway FijiThink of Fiji and the first thing that comes to mind is relaxing vacations filled with stunning sea views and plenty of lounging on beachside hammocks. This Polynesian island has the ideal setting for sunny, chilled out holidays and it also happens to an island filled with delicious food. Kokoda is just one example of a refreshing seafood meal you can expect to enjoy if you ever travel to Fiji or any other South Pacific isle.

Great Britain

Five Euro FoodEver wanted to make a meal that would be fit for the queen of England herself? If you can get your hands on some jam, fresh cream and just a few other ingredients then you can! Invite your friends round, prepare some mugs of hot, sugary tea and fill a fine china plate with traditional English scones to pass around. You’re sure to feel like a character straight out of Downton Abbey.

Japan

Bon AppetitIt’s no secret that Japanese food is in a whole world of its own. Dishes to come out of this East Asian nation are famous for being cute, quirky and totally healthy (it’s little wonder that Japan has the highest life expectancy of anywhere in the world). Bento boxes are a convenient way to carry your delicious Japanese cuisine around with you and enjoy a diverse selection of snacks.

Germany

wikipediaFor most of the countries on this list we have explored main courses and savory snacks. However, when it comes to Germany, it’s the many dessert options that get our mouths watering. After all, what else could we explore from the land that brought us gingerbread men, strudels, black forest gateaux, marzipan and Berliners? All of these sweet treats are delicious, but you can easily find them at your local restaurant or grocery store. For something more authentically German, why not give baking a bienenstich (bee sting cake) a try?

Mexico

It’s hard to imagine anybody who hasn’t tried Mexican food at least once before. However, while we’re all used to fajitas, tacos and burritos why not try something totally different and slightly more authentic? This chilli soup recipe is a deliciously different take on the Mexican cuisine you’re used to

Thailand

yummy in my tumblyOf all the delicious dishes to come out of the Far East, Thailand’s Pad Thai is probably one of the most popular. This meal is healthy, nutritious, packed with spicy Asian flavor and surprisingly simple to make.

Australia

Wittewel SintenbuurtIt might have become a tired stereotype to associate Australians with ‘throwing another shrimp on the barbie’, however, there is some truth in the notion that Australian cuisine does revolve greatly around tasty BBQs on the beach. It makes sense, seeing as BBQ food is perfect for beaches and hot weather, two things that Australia certainly isn’t lacking. If you ever feel like throwing an aussie-themed get-together, these spicy barbecued shrimp are sure to be a big hit.

Egypt

Dyna’s Egyptian CookingTake your taste buds on a trip down the Red Nile, to the land of pyramids, Cleopatra, mummies and ancient gods. Yep, you guessed it – Egypt. This mystical country in the north of Africa is home to plenty of spicy, hearty regional dishes such as ful medames.
