Offhand, I can't think of any period recipes using lavender, but they're
a traditional part of the mixture known as Herbes de Provence (along
with parsley, chives, thyme and chervil, IIRC, or am I fusing Fines
Herbes with HdP? Balthazar? You're prolly closer than my French cookbooks...).

Lavender also is an integral part of the seasoning for some versions of
Daub Provencale, The Greatest Stew on Earth...
