Taste Buds

An inviting, beautiful cookbook for everyone who loves flowers. Inside these pages you'll find recipes for meals and drinks of all kinds, using edible flowers in surprising and delightful ways.

Many garden-variety flowers are not only lovely to look at, they’re also unique additions to any meal. Curious to learn how? Just ask Nikki Fotheringham—gardener, home cook, and forager—who grows flowers in the meadow behind her house and turns them into edible products that she sells in her farm store. In Taste Buds, Nikki shares her recipes for baked goods like the Lemon Elderflower Cake, preserves like the Rose Jam (perfect on scones or alongside a charcuterie board), savory dishes like the Flower Pasta with Marigold Pesto.
