These recipes were inspired after traveling to the English countryside in March when the hills were blanketed in flowers. I have an affinity for flowers and try and use them as much as possible in my cooking and baking. Cooking with flowers is a lost art, but the process can be so mindful and the results are always surprising me.

Steam oat milk with a teaspoon of pure rosewater, and garnished with rose petals. It’s a nice afternoon sweet treat!
