Lavender is one of the most popular smells in human history. It has been celebrated around the world for over 2,500 years.

While culinary lavender has a more delicate flavour than it’s counterparts, it can be a helpful companion in the kitchen whether it’s for sweets or savoury dishes.
It’s associated with a vibrant blue - purple colour versus the grayish - purple colour.

Culinary lavender is cultivated from the “ Lavandula angustifolra plant “. It has less oil than the aromatic lavender used in lotions, soaps, sprays, perfumes, & candles.

Here are some of my favourites ways to use culinary lavender:
lavender salt rub on meat & poultry
mixing lavender into the popular “Herbes de Provence“ blueberry & lavender muffins
lemon lavender loaf
lavender shortbread
lavender lemonade
lavender tea
