DescriptionFlower Cookery ~ The Art of Cooking With Flowers is the definitive source for using flowers for flavour, decoration and definition in recipes! Organized alphabetically, the source covers everything flower from acacia to yarrow, and everything in between. Mrs. MacNicol first became interested in her subject when she leased D. H. Lawrence’s home on Lake Chapala.Mary Blanche Starr MacNicol was the fourth wife of Roy MacNicol, an American artist who in 1954 bought and remodeled the D. H. Lawrence house in Chapala. From spending time in Mexico, she became interested in local Mexican cuisine, especially that involving flowers, and later wrote Flower Cookery (New York, 1967).She researched Aztec methods of flower cookery and once attended a six-course flower supper in Morelia. Lillies, yucca, roses & jasmine are ingredients in her recipes. So are clove, carnations… and marigolds, the flower provider for Dutch soup. This book is the definitive resource for the chef or non-professional who wishes to use the beauty of nature in cookery.MacMillan Publishing Company Vintage 1972
