Edible Art

Isn't this beautiful? I wanted to show you the prettiest lunch ever. And it was delicious too! Edible flowers (geranium and rose petal) with broiled cheese, kiwi and a bit of ligonberry jam on toast. I think it's unusual to describe an open face sandwich as beautiful. Every time I go to my favorite Swedish restaurant, Punzel, I marvel at the flavor combinations and promise myself that I will be a bit more daring when I make lunch. I tell you, inspiration is everywhere.

Morning, Lillyb! Yes, certain flowers are edible (as long as they are grown w/o pesticides). I find that they mostly taste mild and peppery (so especially great in salads etc). I always photograph like crazy before digging in. That way we can have it forever...
