Floral Delicacies: A Culinary Adventure with Edible Flowers and the Magic of Thermomix
Have you ever wondered if the secret to making your dishes extraordinary might be hiding right in your garden? Welcome to the colorful world of edible flowers—a delightful fusion of beauty, flavor, and nutritional value that promises to transform your culinary experiences.
Imagine your next dish adorned with the soothing scent of lavender, the spicy note of nasturtium, or the sweet, apple-like tones of chamomile. Edible flowers are not just a feast for the eyes; they add unique flavors and vibrant colors to your plate. Whether you sprinkle freshly mixed ice cream in the Thermomix with violet petals or add a spicy kick to your salad with nasturtium, these flowers are perfect partners for your Thermomix creations.
You might be wondering, “What exactly are edible flowers and how do I use them?” Great question! These are flowers that are safe to eat and offer a wide range of flavors, from the subtle sweetness of milkweed to the tartness of hibiscus. Not all flowers are edible, but those that are can add entirely new, exciting tastes to your dishes.
One of my favorite edible flowers is chamomile. 
This delicate flower with its sweet-herbal aroma works wonderfully in many dishes. Did you know that chamomile isn’t just for tea? It can also be used in salads, soups, or sweet baked goods.
Chamomile is rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, iron, and magnesium. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and it also has a calming effect. Therefore, it’s worth reaching for this valuable ingredient more often.
In the Thermomix, we can prepare a light salad with a hint of chamomile or an aromatic chamomile-apple sorbet. It will refresh us on hot days while providing many essential nutrients.
Another edible flower I’d like to introduce you to is lavender. 
This beautiful purple flower with its herbal aroma is perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. Lavender is incredibly versatile, yet surprising in flavor.
Lavender has many health benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants and has calming and antidepressant effects. That’s why it’s worth using not only for culinary reasons but also for our well-being.
In the Thermomix, we can use lavender to prepare delicious desserts like lavender panna cotta or lavender cookies. Added to salads or meat dishes, it gives them a delicate, aromatic touch. You might also want to try lavender lemonade or lavender syrups, which are perfect for the summer.
I invite you to explore the endless possibilities lavender offers. It’s an extraordinary flower that can transform our everyday cooking. The Thermomix makes it easier for us to create unique dishes where lavender can truly shine.
Another interesting floral addition is the humble nasturtium. 
Its peppery flavor, similar to wasabi, and vibrant colors will add a touch of spiciness to your dishes. Imagine adding these flowers to a fresh salad or using them to garnish soups prepared in the Thermomix, giving them not only visual appeal but also a distinctive flavor.
But the fun with edible flowers doesn’t stop there! Have you ever tried incorporating milkweed into your culinary creations? These delicate flowers offer a subtly sweet taste that pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes. You can add them to pancake batter made in the Thermomix or use them to decorate smoothie bowls, creating not only a healthy but also a beautiful dish.
Cooking with the Thermomix, I am constantly amazed by the limitless possibilities that come from combining this incredible device with the wonders of nature.
